    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Red Hat 6.0 supposed to be out on May the 10th? Is this the result of pressure from Caldera?

    will basically do the same thing on a Redhat box, look for the latest upgrades and upgrade them on-the-fly with dependancy checking.

    There are of course other methods but I digress...

    Does it matter whether to run 2.0.36 or 2.2.x? Don't think so, as long as 2.2 kernels keep getting released about every other day I'd stick with 2.0.. but hey, some may argue different ;)

  • Mirror anyone?
  • Upgrade of course. Looks like you haven't switched to 2.2 yet... besides, who cares how long a box can stay up with a load average of 0.00?

    Hell, NT could do that.

  • Upgrade to 6.0, or keep the uptime?:

    12:31pm up 319 days, 0:40, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
  • It turns out that the RPM in the RH5.2 does not evaluate whether it has enough scratch disk-space to complete an upgrade before it blindly goes ahead. If it does not have enough scratch space in that partition, it can corrupt it badly. I reported this, and they designated the bug as #236 in their database. With their new bug-tracking software, I don't have a password to check the current status of this bug. Is it fixed in RPM3.0 yet ?? (There's no way I'm going to upgrade RH until it is fixed. I don't want to go through that again!

  • If the 6.0 release follows the rawhide beta stuff then the following applies


    glibc2.1
    kernel-2.2.5 or if we are lucky 2.2.6
    egcs-1.1.2
    GNOME libs 1.0.8
    GNOME core 1.0.5

    it'll probably have RPM 3.0 as well, even though it was only released today...

    Don't quote me but that's a pretty good guess

  • In experiementing with problems
    with the Appletalk module in kernel 2.0.x,
    I tried to use RawHide 5.9 to get up to kernel
    2.2 with the appropriate package modifications;
    however, the kerner RPM as shipped was larger
    than 640k, and nearly blew my 486 to chunks.
    Does anyone know if 6.0 kernel RPM is made
    safe for 486 or lower users?
  • Um, for some strange reason Red Hat blocks ICMP traffic at their firewall. Go to http://www.redhat.com, then ping www.redhat.com. If I remember correctly, they got tired of people contantly pinging their servers.
  • I hope this is a 64 bit machine because the 32bit ULONG max only represents 497 days... I should know I have a linux box here that's got 835 days but it only says 338 because it wraped back to 0 days!

    So, it looks like there is now at least a smp kernel that will ship and be an option. But, Red Hat enables a heck-of-a-lot in thier default kernels. The best bet is to get the kernel__src.rpm and compile it yourself, because only inabling what _you_ need will always increase your system preformance a bit. (sometimes only a little, but it's a lot on older systems, so, it's a catch 22... if you have a slow system, you need to compile it, and it will compile slow, if you have a fast system, you could compile it more quickly, but don't need to as much).

  • RH 6.0 has Linux 2.2.x kernel, the released KDE, and a newer Gnome, better install/setup/config (they say), among the usual updates.

    BTW, ping/ICMP is blocked to RedHat because of possible Denial of Service (DoS) problems in the past.

  • the ones that i can remember off the top of my head:

    better SMP
    better scsi
    better sound support
    frame buffer console
    more filesystems drivers
    more drivers in general


    a few other things too. the first two likely on't affect you much. the third might, but only if you previously had a marginally dupported or unsupported souncard. the fourth i have so far only seen useful for laptops and other odd video chipsets. the fifth includes true fat32 support, useful if you dual boot to '98 or a more recent win95. the sixth is the big difference, it covers not only the already mentioned sound, but also video capture cards and other not quite mainstream stuff.

    plus if you have decent (and relatively sane) hardware, you will probably notice a performance increase as well
  • Redhat 6.0 contains the new 2.2.x kernel and also glibc2.1 both of these additions over the 5.x are extremely valuable to the desktop user.

    On another note 6.0 comes with GNOME and kde, and also x11amp. :)

  • If you want to get 5.9, you can get it from Cheapbytes for $1.99 (or wait a few weeks for the final release of 6.0)
  • For 5.2, there was the standard edition for $39.99, and the secure edition for $79.99.

    The Secure edition included Apache SSL 128 bit encrypted version, and most likely Netscape 128bit encrypted.

  • AFAIK RPMFind _is_ incorporated into GnoRPM. I haven't fiddled with it much but it looks very slick. The only problem is that it often takes packages a few days to appear on the RPMFind website. I tend to find RPMs a lot faster searching for them on Lycos (FTP search).

    As far as Glint goes...when you install GnoRPM it automatically removes Glint. Wave bye-bye to Glint...say hello to GnoRPM.

  • What's the actual procedure? I'm assuming you simply download the new distribution and then install it over your old?

    Or is there an actual upgrade method?

  • Yeah, I just noticed that my "mirror" isn't 100% complete. I'm counting on MetaLab to get their act together and retrieve the entire Red Hat 6.0 distribution, tho', and then I'll be able to use my PC again. Thanks, Slashdotters, everyone! ;-)
  • I bought 5.1 from RedHat because I think they do great things for the community, and because 39.95 really isn't a huge hit in the wallet for what is essentially a contribution to GNOME, Enlightenment, and some of the other cool stuff that comes out of RHAD Labs. I was planning on making a similar "contribution" for 6.0 and the assembled documentation.

    Going to RedHat's pages, though, shows that the only packages currently available are $299 or more. No way can I afford that. So: (since I know some of you Redhat folks must be reading this): are there any plans for a cheaper copy of 6.0? Or are we all going to migrate to Cheapbytes, Debian, or FTP? I'd love to keep helping out, but this is ridiculous.

  • Download new redhat, make boot disks. Boot with disks, and it'll ask if you want to install new or upgrade an existing. (At least, that was the procedure for RH5.x and RH4.x.)
  • If it's like RH5.2, there won't be any commercial software on it. A bunch of non-GPLed software, but all under various free licenses.
  • i scrubbed Win98 the day it was officially released, i'd been using the final for a month too.

  • I got as far as 57 days before I wanted to upgrade kernels. I hated rebooting, it made me feel sick ... I really have sympathy for you. Now I try to reboot my machine every 10-15 days so I don't get addicted to uptimes. I can bear rebooting a machine with 10 days, but 317?

    On a lighter note, it really is time to upgrade if this is he machine you work on ... I mean, a lot has happened in the last 317 days, kernel-wise.

    reboot (since about everything was loaded, for
    some reason). Second: Users don't learn to do it
    right. Enter a Linux channel, and count how many
    of the clueless users are running RH. OK, that is because there are more Red Hat users, but that is only part of the figure. To me, it looks like it _is_ configurable, but users don't even know that they can do it (most don't even recompile their kernel).

  • There were concerns about that there may be code in the kernel or in device drivers that wouldn't survive the jiffy counter wrapping. My understanding is that several machines have survived the wrap with the only side effect being that uptime starts back at zero.

    Of course, there may be subtle timing bugs, but I haven't heard of any...

    I have to use NT on my computer at work, and I think it is pretty stable, but the last straw for MS was when I installed IE5.0 beta and it rebooted my machine without asking. Not even a 'rebooting now... ok' dialog. How can they expect people to do serious server tasks with so much rebooting?

  • this is exactly why you should install beta software on machines you can safely reboot.

    The final release of IE5 did the same thing, it just provided a 'reboot? ok' dialog first. It still "makes" you reboot, it still sucks...

  • The best I've seen for an NT box is approx 11 weeks (78 days or so). This is a machine that gets almost no significant use by its owner. We finally were forced to down it because of some memory leaks (imagine that in a M$ product!).

    Of course, without the recent patch Win95 could not stay up longer than ~42 days due to a rollover in the counter, but I never managed better than about two weeks with it (and boy, that machine was dragging by then...).

    In contrast, I've managed 7-week uptimes with Linux on a box with a screwy IDE controller -- while NT could barely last a day on it. Linux works better even on broken hardware!

    I'm running the following:

    Linux Mandrake 5.3 (RH 5.2)
    - KDE 1.1 (1.1.1 realeased today, so I'll upgrade)
    - GNOME 1.0.x (newest RPM's)
    - Kernel 2.2.5
    - Samba 2.0.3 (so smbmount works again...)
    - LinuxConf 15r1
    - Netscape 4.5
    - Wine 990426

    What components of RH 6.0 are newer than the above? And have all of the problems with glibc 2.1 been worked out?

    Basically, would it be worth my time to upgrade, or should I wait for 6.1?

    Thanks,

    Ben
  • Using precompiled kernels from RPMs is usually risky at best. You end up with a kernel that has alot of stuff you don't need and lacks a few things that may be useful to you. I'd recommend downloading the kernel source and reading the documentation to find out what dependicies are needed if you don't already know. Those can be installed as RPMs just fine, and I'm pretty sure 5.9 has them all. Once you do that, compile the kernel yourself. It isn't difficult at all, just do the following from the directory you untarred it to:
    make menuconfig
    make dep ; make clean ; make bzImage
    You will then have a nice new kernel that you can move to your /boot directory and add into /etc/lilo.conf. As long as you only select what you need in menuconfig it should be just fine on your 486.

    This is NOT meant as a troll.

    I am a long-time RedHat user who, while waiting for 6.0, ended up trying out Debian. Though it required a _tad_ more work to get up and running properly, I must say that I now have an incredible system. dselect and apt are wonderful, and allow me to add and remove software extremely easily. The days of searching the net for lone RPMs are gone; now, I simply add one line to /etc/apt/sources.list, fire up dselect or apt, and then use my new software (which, btw, has just been installed into my menu for KDE in X, automatically.)

    If the mirrors are too busy, you might want to give Debian a try. I didn't think I'd be that impressed, but I was wrong; I dig it.

    RedHat is still good. I am not saying it sucks; all flames to /dev/null. I just dig Debian, and felt the Debian team deserved a pat on the back. :) Good job, guys (and gals!)
  • I've always installed Linux(Slack, RH and Debian) over FTP, but now I have others that want to try linux. What exactly is on a Red Hat 6.0 CD?

    What directories from the FTP do I need to copy to a CD to have a fully working CD?
  • Exactly the same thing happened to me. At first Debian seemed a handful, but once it's up and running, you've learned a bunch of new stuff and the administration is a whole lot easier. And, encouraged by my good experiences, I even let apt to upgrade my system to potato. All in all, Debian is much more elegant and clear in thing like naming conventions and file locations than RedHat. Debian packages are thoroughly tested (the downside is that they are not the most recent) before they make it to the distribution and it's well known for its security vs. RH's default open-doors-policies. And, of course, I can spare the money and download OFFICIAL CD images to burn them...

    So Nice job, Debian!

    PS. I do think the RH guys deserve some applause too.

  • Actually I've seen NT crash while sitting there, running nothing (many times). And the longest I've had my NT box was 20 days, and my Linux box has now been up well over 70 with no trouble.
  • Slackware v4.0 which is in Beta 2 stage right
    now already has 2.2.6 built in. As well as
    a few more packages, a hella loada new stuff
    and many fixes. It will ship when it is ready.
    They are currently working on a GLIBC 2.1
    release but who knows when that will happen.
  • Your mirror is missing some directories. They're in the ls-lR file, though. That's reliable
  • Try the local Danish mirror [sunsite.auc.dk] - I'm downloading as we speak (write?)

    My girlfriend told me I had a body like a God. Unfortunately I found out she's a buddhist.
  • Since 5.9.7 won't even install or upgrade on an Alpha I guess 6.1 will be on its way soon.
  • If you want RedHat 6.0, I put it on my website, I have plenty of bandwith, (campuus network.) There is an iso image on there as well, so feel free to download.

    ftp.vinnie.net/redhat-6.0

    P.S. I'm located in Boston, for anyone in the northeast
  • I copied the iso image, and put it on my ftp server, vinnie.net.

    Check it out
  • Here's another mirror here:

    ftp://linux.vinnie.net

    Its a pretty fast conection, (campus network) :)
    It has an ISO, and I386
  • I am currently downloading Redhat 6.0 from
    ftp.redhat.com. I am starting with the rpms. Everyone can get it my copy
    from ftp://ftp.okcforum.org/pub/linux/redhat-6.0/
  • damnit.. what about freebsd reporting. people actually do use it.

    just curious...
  • The following is an email reply from someone at RedHat concerning the new release:

    We expect to release our new version of Red Hat Linux sometime within
    the next 2 to 3 weeks. I suggest that you check our website every
    Monday morning for an official release announcement.
