Folks, the jinxed pii10.hirg.bnl.gov computer is now running the
brand new, fresh-off-the-presses, RedHat 7.0, linux kernel 2.2.16.
The most notable differences from redhat 6.2 are:
- gcc-2.96 compilers (note: the is no such thing as GCC 2.96,
at least according to gcc.gnu.org. Aparently
redhat took the current GCC development snapshot
and called it gcc 2.96).
- Xfree86 4.0.1
- updated (and much improved, at least visually) GNOME.
The usual suspects (/afs and printers) are currently missing,
but the user disks and accounts are available, so everybody
is welcome to try to login and kick the tires.
The decision to install RedHat 7.0 was made after the (also brand new)
RedHat 6.2 installation stopped seeing the network card. It was deemed
to be less work to do a fresh install of 7.0 than to try and figure out
why RedHat 6.2 suddenly stopped working.
