The new Red Hat Linux- Not backporting bug fixes can be bad!The new Red Hat Linux- Not backporting bug fixes can be bad!Posted Jul 24, 2003 18:54 UTC (Thu) by mongre26 (guest, #4224)In reply to: The new Red Hat Linux- Not backporting bug fixes can be bad! by croftj Parent article: The new Red Hat Linux I handle all my dependency issues with Yum (http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/) anyway and redhat network or not that is my preferred method. Especially when it allows me to create a custom redhat distro for my users and keep them up to date with the latest of my packages. Also there will still be security updates, they will just track with the version updates from the originators of the software rather than "redhats" version. This is I think acceptable and manageable with the proper tools for handling dependencies. Redhat could have really left everyone who uses the basic redhat out to dry. With this movement I am hoping they will be able to keep their roots while at the same time building a successful business. Now if only they could make their AS server product a little more up to date I might actually use it. Talk about painful to install on anything but classic SCSI devices. Terrence
