Specifically what problems? I'm thrilled with my RH5 server, which has been up
for about 2 months. We are totally dependent on the server, it does AppleShare
(netatalk) and NFS file services, and fairly intensive engineering application
services. The apps were ported from an old system (ULTRIX) with almost no
changes, and everything seems to run perfectly. I had to work on netatalk a
bit, but all those issues were in the netatalk code and not related to Linux or
glibc. Also the server hasn't crashed. Ever. So far I'd give RH5 a 10 out of
10; is there somthing "lurking" that I'm going to find out about in an
unpleasant way?
