Hi folks,
Are there users of RH5.0 out there?
I am asking this, as I have some systems running RH5.0 (2.0.36) since ages. Of course, I had upgraded sendmail,apache, PHP etc over these years on these boxes, and they are serving me well since their inception. IOW, *they do what they are supposed to do*, leaving nothing much to whine about.
They mostly function as mailservers.
I dont blame entirely the retro-ness(?) on my laziness, but mostly on the principle "Dont fix it if it is not broken." I saw nothing broke, also my requirement is being met by these machines.
However, any new system I build goes with "somewhat decently" recent versions of Linux [ie, RH7.0 (2.2.16-22) or 7.2, even though RH 8.0 is the current cool and hype thing.]
I would like to know how you ladies and gentlemen out here treat the versions (if you guys have any) that power my said horses.
I suppose one prime plus point of Linux is that it likes older hardware as well.
How do we treat the older kernels? Tear 'em down?
Thanks for your time and patience in advance,
Anu Mathew
