Ok, so we were all pissed when we heard RedHat Linux 9.0 was the “last” RedHat Linux. (No, RedHat’s not gone away, just too big for the little guys anymore - focusing on “RedHat Enterprise Linux.) I haven’t had a chance to play with “Fedora” yet, but that might be promising, but don’t rm -rf / your RedHat 7.3, 8.0, or 9.0 install just yet… The Fedora Legacy project might be a good thing to check out - it’s not the only choice out there though! I found Dag’s Apt/Yum RPM Repository to be just the ticket recently! There’s even some stuff for 6.2!

So why am I even looking at RPMs you ask? Don’t I compile from source? Sorry to disappoint, but I just don’t have time anymore to deal with source compiles! If I can find an RPM for the package I need, I’ll use it. Too much other stuff to work on… and I do have a life you know!
