RedHat 9 switched to NPTL threads and their associated tools have also (binutils/gcc). This can cause some problem when compiling ANY package. I have had some issues with RH8 also. The most reliable builds I get are from 7.3 and SuSE. Keep in mind that SuSE is the core of UnitedLinux (even though other vendors are part of it), and Oracle is now supported on this enterprise offering.

I still use RedHat for my servers, but am seriously considering SuSE as they tend to stay more stable and compatible through the upgrade process. Too many inconsistencies are arising from RedHat going from version to version.

my 2 cents...
