Haque" To: "Charles Turner, Ph.D." cc: Subject: Re: Defective Red Hat Distribution poorly represents Linux In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org To Charles: I see your intentions but you really want to take this up with Redhat and some linux advocacy groups. linux-kernel really doesnt need to deal with things like gcc being broken and such (which I don't think is your case; check your hardware -- my reason? I've deployed RH 6.2 on 20 or so server, all scsi, without a hitch. also signal 11 points to memory problems). To list: Could we please come across to users a little more politely? I know its frustrating when people come barging in complaining about something that really should be directed somewhere else. But it's heck of alot better if we don't have a user that later thinks 'Damn, linux developers are meanies' and then are afraid to ask us questions later which wuld probably be useful for us. I'm not saying I was right by simply blowing off Charles by telling him this is the wrong list. I should have pointed him in the right direction and given quick pointers.
