[WBEL-users] 2.4.21-15.0.3.EL

[Tony Wicks]

Well I have about 20 machines running Whitebox with hardware ranging from
old p200's to dual Xeon dells with scsi and 4g ram. They range from Oracle
databases, web / mail filtering and most other imaginable uses. All these
machined have proved completely stable. A couple of machines that were
unstable on FC2 after re-loading with Whitebox are stable.
Infact I prefer my Whitebox machines over my Solaris, RHEL, RHAS or Debian
machines as they are so stable, and everything just works (without having to
deal with RHN, which can be painful).
