I don't think these systems will ever be re-installed again with SL/RHEL before the end of their usefull life. I think Gregory is building xrootd already for RH8. I think we would be happy, as long as building with gcc2.95.3 or gcc2.96 works. Cheers, Andreas > > I guess ROOT may still support RH7x?
