Just a warning – it’s possible daves-place will again go down for a period of time, possibly starting this weekend. Redhat pushed an update down to me that broke significant parts of the KDE gui that I use, so I get all kinds of application crashing going on in the gui. This sucks. It’s not a huge deal and basically has no performance impact on the server side of daves-place, which is its primary purpose, but I do use KDE occasionally and I need to get it running again. One of three things is going to happen: either I am going to bump immediately to kde 3.11 (just released), I am going to jump to redhat 8.0 (I’m currently running a heavily patched 7.3) or I am going to wait till Redhat 9 is in stable form in a month or so. It all depends on how impatient I get with my crippled GUI combined with how much time I can get out of the Topcat for assistance (he owes me some sysadmin time, we use the bartering system).

I’ll prolly post a warning right before I break everything, but just wanted to give the heads up.
