Re: Which RPM for RH Linux ES 4? PGDB or RH?

Hi,

I only run RHEL because of the "progress" database, running on this server.
Technical support for progress is only available when servers are running
RHEL, so that's why we are running this OS. But if I had the choice, I would
have installed freebsd there...

Alan, you are right, it's time maybe to try migrating from Postgresql 7 to
8. I'll try that...

Thanks

Philippe

They are the same thing to within measurement error ;-). Or at least, if
you find an important difference, feel free to tell off Devrim or me
respectively.

But I agree with Alan's point: if you are running RHEL at all, it's probably
because you want Red Hat support, and Red Hat won't support RPMs not built
by Red Hat.
