RE: Red Hat Network ...

OK, so I'm a RHCE, and haven't used many other distribs.  This, in my opinion, is not a valid reason to thrash
anyone.  As long as RH still makes patches available for their products, charging for RHN is acceptable as
far as I'm concerned.

... if you, in your opinion, choose to characterize that as a
'thrushing', so be it.  that, however, does not affect any change in my
position.

    and not to make too fine a point of it, RH does NOT make patches
available for 'their' products.  which if you'll recall, was my original
objection to dependancy on RH ...

Oh!  How M$ of you to get a piece of paper saying so.

What?  The fact that you got a piece of paper?

RH makes patches?  Patches for which product?

Businesses charging for services, hmm, I think that's the only thing you 
said here that makes and sense.

Well put Terry, depend only on yourself.  Still, there is nothing wrong 
with RH, other than they are looking more and more like M$ every day.  Oh 
well, someone has to make money off this thing, and RH has put a lot into 
it, they deserve to get some back, as do others that back and support Linux.

So, now for all the time RHN saves me in searching for downloads to keep my 
one out ten servers up-to-date, I'm not going to whine about filling out a 
simple little survey.  I might fudge anything personal and give them my 
freemail.com address that I never check, but what can it hurt to give them 
2-3 minutes, even 10 minutes, of your time every 60 days.  Compared to the

RE: Red Hat Network ...

I'm am sorry I ever subscribed to this list, posted any messages, or tried to help people.  This is a
linux-admin list, not a forum for complaining.

As it is, I barely have spare time to try to help, and showing how much I feel appreciated at this time...  Well I
just feel spectacular!

I'll put my few words in, as my next message will be to unsubscribe.  Any further ramblings on this thread
should be emailed to me personally and I will reply off the list sparing others of wasted bandwidth (just
like this message is).

GROW UP!

Oh my gosh, Marco,

You top posted, off topic, bragging about having a piece of paper; you 
really shouldn't take a little jabbing so personally.  Read the rest of the 
message, it was about RHN not you.  Sorry you take it so personally.

Scott.

RE: Red Hat Network ...

Truly Marco,

I am very sorry for you.  I did not intend to offended you in any way, it 
was only meant as a tease, a little spark, not a big flame.  Please come 
back to us, I'm sure you have a lot to offer with or without any piece of 
paper to prove it.  I only tease you about it because I am not a big enough 
man to go out of my way, time, and money, to get my own.  I have nothing to 
prove to anyone but myself, I'm just a lone wolf.  So you see, I mean 
nothing, just to have fun.

So you did.  That fact means very little except to a Resume.  Sorry, again.

>I am not a "paper-RHCE"...

Ho hum, the certificate is paper, I would never assume you were.

It still wasn't about you, you just happened to get there before me and I 
couldn't resist. ;)

Updating the kernel of a RedHat 7.3

Dear all,

 I have followed the instructions of redhat of how to upgrade a kernel
downloading from the upgrades.redhat.com web page the corresponding
RPMs.

 I have downloaded the following RPMs for my fresh installation:

 kernel-2.4.18-24.7.x.i686.rpm
 kernel-source-2.4.18-24.7.x.i686.rpm
 kernel-smp-2.4.18-24.7.x.i686.rpm (since its a double proccesor box)

 I did the upgrade of the kernel-source RPM and had to use -ivh --nodeps
--force options to install the kernel and the kernel-smp RPMs.

 I noticed that the kernel progress bar only reached the 50%.

 Everything seems to be fine, but what could be wrong or everything is
fine?

 Many thanks in advance

 Miguel

Generally speaking I only install one of the above.  As the system is SMP, 
that's the one I'd choose.  So far, I've never had:

rpm -ivh kernel-smp-2.4.18-24.7.x.i686.rpm 

fail.  Haven't had to to use --nodeps or --force to  install a kernel.  
RPM based kernel installs happily live next to each other.  I've had up to 
five.

>  kernel-source-2.4.18-24.7.x.i686.rpm

Never done a "upgrade" to kernel-source rpm.  Again I've always just done
rpm -ivh
