Perhaps it's just my imagination that our site's DNS, SMTP, and NTP servers have been working flawlessly for months, then. ;) (The only real problem with 8.0 on server-class machines was the very-hard-to-squash tg3 driver hang bug, which bit people running SMP systems--particular Dell PowerEdge 2650 systems. But Jeff finally nailed that one with 2.4.18-26.8.0.) Personally, I think the whole ".0 releases are always buggy" is mostly a result of the confirmation basis. Simply put, after people have formed their conclusions, they then tend to over-emphasize data which support their conclusions, and under-emphasize data which don't support their conclusions... -- James Ralston, Information Technology Software Engineering Institute Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA -- Phoebe-list mailing list [email protected] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/phoebe-list
