Red Hat Linux 7.1 (for alpha/sparc)

[Chuck Young]

When will it be out for the sparcitecture?  Anyone know?  I could not find
.iso's anywhere.

I don't have an alpha, but I am curious as to the lag time between
architectures in a given release.  I know they are after market share in the
server space, but maybe x86 is where that's at?  Anyone?

I don't know if anyone here has had the chance to download or install Red
Hat 7.1 with the new 2.4.2-2 kernel, but last night I did.  I have not begun
a search for bugs yet, but I must say that I am happy with the install,
without modification.  It supported my sound card (Sound Blaster Live) right
out of the box.  This is the first distribution to have a driver already.
In fact, it supported all the hardware on my computer, from the install
probe (BTW, I am running it on an HP Pavillion 8665c).
They did some slight modifications to the anaconda installer.  Mostly
cosmetic, but it now has a section to allow you to configure the installed
firewall software.  Not too shabby.  Oh well, I guess I will look for others
comments.  Have a great day!

Regards,

Jeff Kirkland
