[olug] Red Hat upgrade question

[Nick Walter]

I still use Red Hat 6.2 quite extensively, but I use Linux in a different context than most of the members of this list I imagine.  

I'm a sysadmin for a company that has been phasing out Unixware 2.X.X in our servers and products and replacing it with Red Hat.  Because of driver availability and development cycle time for products,  we have to pick an O/S and version and stick with it for several years at a time.  We last standardized 9 months ago, on Red Hat 6.2.  Now our telephony products will probably be shipping with Red Hat 6.2 for the next few years :)

The moral of the story is that in the corporate world there a lot of people who aren't using the latest and greatest (and possibly unstable or quirky) versions of Linux.

  yes, checkout the README in that same directory. redhat 6.2 is rather old, why may I ask are you using it?
