I regularly see people asking for version of software that works with Red Hat Linux 9.
My normal reply: the version on the cdroms for the antiquated version of Red Hat you have. RHL9 is roughly equivalent to using windows 3.1.1, it’s not getting security or bugfixes, there is zero support for it.
use a newer version, it will not be as vulnerable to exploits. Red Hat’s Fedora Core 6 is coming out soon, it’s their latest version.
The funny thing is, webhosting services seem to be using either RHL 7 or RHL 9.
and people wonder why website exploits are so common in the security lists, it’s not just to ms based software used to write them, it’s the unsupported os under them.
