No, to heck with that. Most serious users of emacs end up compiling their own release, at least until recently, because the official releases were so out of date. I would suggest pulling current rpms from fedora (maybe they have the equivalent of emacs-snapshot?) And tying those on rhel. You are talking about going back to the pre-xft fonts and for that matter, almost-pre-gtk days of emacs here. If your primary usage is on servers, that's less of an issue, but things like tramp mode work quite a bit better on more current emacsen. If there is such a thing as a non-serious user of emacs, no one in their right mind would want to cope with 21.x. > Thanks a lot and best regards :) > > Jing -- Dave Taht http://the-edge.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
