Don't know but I'll offer some guesses. First guess, if you mean the 2.4.x kernel (or glibc) on Red Hat 7.0, then you are doing research. Second guess, if you have some Java runtime environments and installed StarOffice using the wrong JRE version, it will lock hard. I have not found a solution to installing StarOffice for linux with Java enabled. StarOffice prefers the older JRE 1.1.8. Sun warns that JRE 1.2 will itself lock Red Hat 7.0 hard. www.blackdown.com has some encouraging Java downloads for linux, but I don't have the days for downloads. A lot of catch 22s. If you figure it out, please let me know. My best conclusion is to get SuSE 7.0. I really like SuSE 6.4 but Kylix doesn't. If you have never tried SuSE you might like it. YAST (the SuSE config tool) is much more complete than two or three of Red Hat's tools. The file structure is much cleaner so you know what you've got and where it goes. Also, my older PC is happier with an older kernel. Otherwise, I've never had problems with (java disabled) StarOffice on regular Red Hat 7.0.
