"Adequate" is _always_ relative.  ;-ppp

In general, running RHL8 is like running a .0 release of old.  RHL9 is what I
consider the "bare minimum" for today, much like a .1 release of old.

But I'm still running RHL8 on my main home file/app server because of the 24x7
operational requirement of it (yes, I know ;-).  Fedora Legacy has not failed me
yet there.  I'm going to upgrade it to FC1 next month.
