This week got copy of redhat 5.2 on friday.

First install went smoothly.

Installed at home on a machine that had 5.1. I have /home on a different partition along with the following /etc files.
exports hosts passwd resolv.conf
After install I copied etc files over and soft linked /hda4/home to home and system worked find. Xfree86 detected mouse and video card correctly.

Install seemed to go very smoothly. Took about 5 minutes.

It still amazes me that the links to online documentation in the default load file file:/usr/doc/HTML/index.html
are still all busted. They have been busted for a long time. redhat is kinda amatuer when it comes to software configuration management.

Crap,,, I wonder what else is still busted.

Do you know of anyone who has used Applix Builder to front end a net accessible database? Do you know if it can handle different types of databases that mix graphic and text fields with large fields of text? ie html indexing and indexing of jpegs and text documents. Is there an example you can point too?
