Hey, just a suggestion -- but why not roll your own rpms?  It isnt hard
at all.  And it makes managing your software really easy.  I have had
zero issues with either RH8 or RH9.  But then again, around RH 7.0/7.1 I
got the idea that RH works best with a RPM only approach.  Well at least
for me I should note. Your miles apparently have varied.
