[luau] RH 7.2 vs. 7.3 questions

[Florian Hines]

I got 7.3 pro when i went to the RH lab's and like it, but i can't compare
it 7.2 because i went from 7.1 straight to 7.3.

Lately thats what i've installed for all my client's also.

For mail service i usually like sendmail/squirellmail/and mailman or my
custom mailing list program.
I've never been able to get used to qmail but thats just me.

I like to install apache my self always unless the client need's to use
ColdFusion Server 5 or Chili!Soft ASP (They can get better support that way
if something should go wrong).

Hi folks!

I'm building a new machine for myself to tinker with, and I've got RH 7.2
pro boxed set that I bought awhile back. I have a couple of questions
though.

1) Is it worth going out and buying the boxed RH7.3 set, or is it cheaper
to just burn a copy of RH7.3 and buy the yearly subscription? Is there any
difference? The demo software doesn't really interest me that much, and I
the included docs the last time didn't seem that different from the
previous version.

Should I buy 7.3 pro? or just install 7.3 from CD's and buy the annual
subscription?

2) I'm building the machine mostly to be a server not a desktop setup.
Basically a LAMP setup (although I need to make it FP extensions
compatible for some work I do for clients). I need it to handle multiple
domains and email although traffic is very light. I'd also use it as a
SAMBA enabled storage area to hold files from winblows machines on a small
network at home.

I was thinking of installing the basic system without the webserver,
mySQL, PHP and mail programs and hand install those items myself...Kinda
interested in trying qmail and using squirel mail to provide web IMAP
access to my email (when I can't use my laptop or regular workstation).

As gravy, it'd be nice to slowly start playing with X and remote X
connecting to server...

If anyone is regularly building setups like this, I'd appreciate any
insights to sequence of installation software or pointers to any web
resources that discuss this. I thought I'd seen some past posts by list
users who have similar setups or who do this for business clients. (Was
that you Hoala?)

Thanks in advance for any info, comments, or links...

Erich
