FW: [Bayonne-devel]Bayonne working with RedHat 9.0?

[Julien Chavanton]

Hi Dmitry,

Can you provide a short howto to use RH9 Compatible library.
This way I can setup my server on RedHat 9 and benefit from the improved
NPTL threading model that is available only starting redhat 9 .

I have a hell of a bunch of thread's with 12 T1's on one server :(

Thanks,
Julien

Hmm...

If you want to write a short howto for that, and we can get a few others

together, I would be happy to add a short howto section with links to 
individual contributed submissions onto the web site.  Actually I had 
been making a few minor updates on the web site, and this seems a good 
time to do something useful like this...
