[AG-TECH] AG2.1.1 and RH 9

As an "I second that" can I ask the list whether they think that
RedHat 9.0 is a suitable base for AG 2.x.x?

Our systems people have suggested that by the end of this year the
only supported RedHat may be RH 9, so we have just installed that
on the capture and audio machines, prior to installing AG 2.x.x .
Indications from elsewhere are that some bits of the system, possibly
just the servers, are unhappy with anything later than RH 7.3 .
Before expending the effort on installing AG 2.x.x, I would therefore
like to check which base people think is best (RedHat only, please).

In a similar vein, our current display machine is Windows 2000, and
I am assuming that it is sensible to move to Windows XP for AG 2.x.x;
any views on this?

BTW, we are doing the migrations by having alternate caddied hard
drives for the different systems, keeping the rest of the hardware
the same.

Cheers, and thanks in advance

Chris
