Perhaps you would like the 5.2 release better, seeing as to how it is
not RAGINGLY UNSTABLE... I am far from a Linux Guru, but since
1) not enough people run Debian to make its tools & stability outweigh
its weird /etc scheme
2) RedHat 6.0 is, in my own experience, CRAWLING with little gotchas re:
X, glibc, etc., and
3) RedHat 5.2 is stable, relatively well tested, and essentially the
Windows 95 of Linux
I would *strongly* advise regressing to 5.2 for development and making
the necessary patches to move to kernel 2.2.x and whatever else you care
to do. RH6 is primarily better for new users because
Enlightenment+GNOME feels a lot like Windows or a Mac. Unfortunately it
seems like a LOT of bugs crawled in as the rush to get GNOME together
commenced.
If you would like, I can dig up the patches I applied on our
RH5.2/Oracle box to go to 2.2.
I have been running RH6 for a week or so now, ran Debian 2.1 for a while
before that, and at home I even have a FreeBSD box next to my RH 5.2 box
(neither has been booted in 2 weeks). I would suggest that, unless you
are truly committed to glibc 2.1 and/or RH6.0, you consider using
RH5.2. Or Debian, but that's an entirely other can of worms. (Debian
feels a hell of a lot more like FreeBSD, since the whole thing is
delivered as an integrated distribution, on the other hand the /etc
layout is very different from the industry-standard RedHat Way; the
difference is more like 98 vs. NT than night and day, but it can be a
drag sometimes.)
I would be remiss if I let a great developer's time go to waste simply
due to Linux quirks.
