Hi Peter,

Welcome to the list.

Last Wednesday 24 November 2004 22:03, Peter Fry was like:

Isn't RH 7.2 _very_ old?

The basic concepts are likely to be the same. I think the major differences in 
configuration will be caused by kernel versions. 2.2 is different from 2.4 & 
likewise 2.6. (CMIIW) I did have a copy of RH 8.1 kicking around somewhere 
(not that I've ever used it ;) and I'm sure the group could help you upgrade 
when you're ready for it.

cheers
