3rd-Party Apps: Compatibility Report

[Tom Syroid]

Evenin' all...

Not sure if this is the correct forum for the following material, but I'll 
post it anyway. Perhaps it might help others in a roundabout way.

9.0.93 installed without fuss or incident on my dual Athlon 2000+ box. The 
resolution applet is a welcome touch (I like to work on a big screen -- 
1600x1200 -- and it's nice not to have to fuss with XF86Config tweaks.

Installed J2SDK-1.4.2: NP.

Installed JEdit-1.4-final: NP, once I fed JAVA_HOME into the equation.

Installed MySQL-4.0.14-0 (binary RPMs): Crashed and burned during server 
start (segfault). Installs fine on RH 8 and 9.

Installed Samba-3.0-beta3: Installs and runs like a top. I removed all 
samba* RPMs first, then simply "rpm -ivh"d the single binary. One 
unexpected and welcome bonus -- redhat-config-samba-1.0.8.1 functions 
flawlessly with Samba 3.0. Added users, shares, passwords, the whole works, 
without error. *If* Allison et. al. manage to get the final out before RHL 
10 ships, it might be a worthy inclusion to consider for the final release. 
I've been using Samba 3 (alpha and beta) on my main file server for almost 
year now without a single hiccup or loss of data. Highly recommended.

Overall, nice work gents.
