Thread: Red Hat 9

Red Hat 9

From

Is it advisable or ok to install v8.2.5 to a Red Hat 9 configuration?  I tried it and there are a lot of libraries that I need get and install (e.g. libc).  I am wondering if it is worth it (or dangerous) or am I better off upgrading my system?

Thanks

No.

It is not ok to run any RedHat Linux, as thay are totally not
supported and insecure.

You should as soon as possible install RedHat Enterprise 5 (or a
clone like CentOS 5).

Thanks to all those who chimed in to help.  My Linux box is a personal pc
and I have been thinking about upgrading.  At that point I will also upgrade
to PostgreSQL v8.2.5.

Happy New Year to all!
