[NTLUG:Discuss] RH6.2 vs. RH7.2 (was sc2b motherboard)

[Steve Orr]

Frank, being a support engineer for 30 years now, I fully support your
position. Unfortunatly our needs are very task specific. We need a good
interupt driven operating system, but since the demise of VMS, we are in
interupt purgatory.
Our backround is realtime. Linux is our best answer so far.

One reason is product support such as Orcale and Computer Associates
eTrust Access Control and Computer Associates Unicenter TNG. For some
VeRy OdD reason, vendors seem to like 6.2. I wish they would keep up
with the times. While Oracle will run just fine on 7.2 (with 9i, some
features actually require features of the 2.4 kernel) some vendors are
just now starting to shift software support from 6.2 to 7.2. (SAD but
TRUE)

Why would one want to choose 6.2 over 7.2?
Any input?
Maybe there are some reasons i am not aware of.
