Thanks for the research on that - it's handy to know and overall that
picture is certainly better than the last time I tried setting a node up
with a similar set of software under EL5 (although I wonder how good
logcheck ends up being when it's not a core part of the distro - for us
it's a really key piece of software) - I should say tho' that I'd expect
to end up doing more backporting and overall fiddling about with EL6
than I would with Debian.

That having been said, I'd expect to get a slightly more stable kernel
out of Redhat, as it's hard to better their engineering team, but then
again I've not really seen any more problems on the Debian nodes which
I've managed than I have on the Redhat ones...

Cheers,

Tim.
