Tux on RHEL 4.1 AS

Sat Oct 15 03:04:17 UTC 2005

Why don't you use the RHEL kernel? I know that Tux comes with the stock
RHEL 3 kernels (I'm using it right now), and I thought that I noticed it
in the RHEL 4 package list.

If possible, it's always easier to stick with the prebuilt modules
instead of building your own. Plus, if you use the red hat kernel,
you'll get security updates etc. with much less work.
