Hi all, I've had Severn installed on my desktop SMP machine for a week or two now, and I have to give a congratulations to all involved... RedHat has come along way since I last used a RH release for my main desktop usage... I think the last one I had on my desktop was 6.0... And as always, my thanks to Alan Cox for his great work with his -ac series of patches for pretty much every kernel version in existance... Great work...
I've used RH on all of my servers, including my home firewall etc with excellent results - but usually never install X etc, so even though I'm a long time user, I'm not so cluey with X....
It's the first time I've used a Beta version of RH on any system, and have noticed that I haven't been asked to install any updates since the initial install... Is there something I should have done to get up2date working in severn using beta packages? I get the SSL certificate error, but from what I've read on the list archives, this is a known issue, and I guess it'll be resolved shortly...
The second issue I've found has been with Mozilla... It's the one supplied with severn (1.4).. I use it to access my IMAP mail accounts over both SSL and normal. I've noticed that when I hit Ctrl+Shift+C on an IMAP folder to 'mark all as read', it never actually does anything...
I've updated to Mozilla 1.5b from mozilla.org, but would prefer to stay with the official RPM's for ease of upgrade later on... Has anyone else come across this?

I've been very impressed with it on my single processor machines (even the Athlon laptop (HP ze1210) that runs hot because there's no ACPI - it has an uptime of 14 days with not the first problem).
But Severn was a horrible experience for me on a Tyan MP2466 smp Athlon; random re-boots, lockups. Mandrake 9.1 is rock solid on the same hardware, however.
That's why choice is always a good thing. 8)

You need to go to rhn.redhat.com and specifically ask for a beta update channel for your machine running Severn. Check the archives for a message from Elliot Lee on August 25 announcing the new channel.
