> LISTSERV(R) for unix version 14.5 & Linux RH 9

Please note that RedHat 9 is unsupported anymore, and there exist
known remotely-exploitable holes that you're going to have a hard time
finding patches for.  Please consider upgrading to one of the following:

1) Red Hat's Enterprise Linux (Advanced Server or Entry Server depending
on the size of the box).  RHEL 4.0 AS, ES, and WS come with actual RedHat
support contracts.

2) CentOS 4.2 - basically a whiteboxed RHEL 4.0.  Free, but no RedHat support,
but you can get updates via the 'yum' command.

3) Fedora Core - Free, no support, and you get stuff before it shows up in
the RHEL line.  FC5 was just released this week. 'yum' updates.

Friends don't let friends use RH9 in 2006. ;)
