[mail] Re: Kernel issues

[Steve Thacker]

Are you using RedHat update? If so, check the "Ignored" section if it 
shows up. It could be that it is there, if so uncheck the box/move 
it--etc..... just once I did a Kernel update and it didn't install. 
Didn't worry about it as in a day there was a different version that was 
availible and it installed just fine on my webserver. Why, I never 
figured out..........one of the mysteries of Linux?? hi-hi
    Every day is a new learning experience for me, I  have only been 
running the newer versions of Linux for about 8 months (trials of 
mandrake, gentoo, Debian, Fedora Core 2/3, FreeBSD(too full of cracker 
tools), but my experience with computers/networking goes back into the 
early 80's, and the original experience of early Linux kind of turned me 
off of Linux for 10 years. GUI's are nice, easy to play with, and lots 
easier to setup networking/firewalls/playgrounds in. Linux has finally 
come of age! Maturing nicely, and is the upcoming OS of choise in a lot 
of areas.
  So Fedora Core 3 score-1  Windoze score-0
But this is being written on an XP computer running Thunderbird--so I am 
NOT completely weaned off of XP yet--old habits die hard!
My Linux Webserver is running 2.6.9-1.681 kernel nicely.
Yum nightly updates is enabled, and so far the world is all Christmas 
Cheer, hackers are kept away, and I have settled on using Fedora Core 3.
