Hello,
I don't know what you all are talking about, but I moved up to RH 9.0
last month, formerly used Mandrake 6.5,
and I love it. My sendmail, which I should have upgraded way back, now
with 9.0, works tremendously, ie, no stalling when used as an smtp and
mail server on other machines. I guess that is what I really like.
Only problem so far is "chkconfig" with says "error reading from
directory /etc/init.d: No such file or directory, but it still works.
