redhat itself

[John G Heim]

Surely there must be somebody building kernels with those modules so 
that you can  install by adding their yum repository to your system. If 
not, it would mean that a blind RH systems admin couldn't do his work at 
the console. If remote access is broken he'd be in serious trouble. Most 
systems admins don't have a choice as to what flavor of linux they use 
in their job. Here at the University of Wisconsin, the IT department 
used to run Red Hat. The campus had a site license. The Math Department, 
where I work, uses debian and ubuntu. But if I worked in another 
department, I'd probably be stuck with RH.


I have been building kernels for debian and ubuntu that have a hack do 
serial synths work. I set up a apt repository at www.iavit.org so other 
people can use them too. I don't know anything about Red Hat but surely 
there must be the equivalent of a ppa.
