RE: [UUG/MLUG] RH 6.0 is it worth it?

["Roberts, Michael J." <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I've found that it was worth it for me.  The setup was by far the nicest
improvement.  Also it's a really stable 2.2.x kernel, so you don't have to
recompile unless you want to.  I'm noticing some speed improvements too.  I
didn't have to futz with setting up the sound either.  It was pretty much
already done.

Well, it's definitely a nice setup, with lots of new and fixed things...
although I've found that it is often hard to get packages that compile
just fine on a 5.2 system to do so on a 6.0... so you may want to wait a
few weeks for people to port things over.  I'm also still fighting with
the "libc 2.0 compatability" stuff (btw, if you're using this, *DON'T* add
the 2.0 glibc directory to /etc/ld.so.conf, unless you know more than I
currently do about other configuration issues... I got to find out just
how well I really know bash in getting things fixed, being too cocky to
pull out a boot disk, and it wasn't pretty)...

now to 6.0 from 5.2 or should I wait for a higher version number. Honestly,
I see no point in it when I just got 5.2 not to long ago.
