Popped the RH 7.1 CD in, did the 'linux dd' for my RAID controller, and the next thing I know, it was installed. ;) I haven't even installed a single program on it. As a matter of fact, I just got startx to work. (It hates my monitor.) It boots fine, everything works. Pinging great on the network. Everything seems swell. Type 'TERM=scoansi' and it crashes and burns. >The support is a bitch with all OS. The most problems I've had was with >Window$, >but Solaris is just about as bad. I've been using Windows since I was 14. I've never in my life had to call support. But I am sure their support is just like anyone elses. Slow, unhelpful, and a pain. >With Linux, just like with Window$, you should only use compatible hardware >(HCL) or something like that ... otherwise you pay through the nose, until >someone, somewhere fixes it for free! ;-) Every piece of HW in that machine is in the "certified" in RHs HCL for 7.1. >In this regard Solaris is even worse, cause it has problems (sometimes) with >Sun's own hardware.

I have a Linux box at work that some clients use over an ISDN line for various tasks. Well, it stopped backing up last week, and when I did an uptime, I freaked. 101 days. 40+ users. Rebooted, and everything's fine. ;) I've setup tons of Linux boxes. But the first one I build for MYSELF is a big 'ol pain in the ass. My luck. >Cheers, >hristo Thanks!
