Re: {bb} Redhat Fedora Core versus Redhat Enterprise

[Ben Pitzer <bpitzer@gmail.com>]

Folks,

How about RH 7.3?  I've got some pretty critical servers that can't
afford to have significant downtime, all running RH 7.3, and BB 1.9c. 
We may eventually upgrade to 1.9e, but for now, 1.9c is what we have. 
I have experienced the BB clients dying for no reason that I can
discern on one set of boxes, but I'm not yet sure that it was the
result of the type of problem being discussed here.

Any feedback on this would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Regards,
Ben Pitzer
