    If you compile from source, I don't think it makes an ounce of
    difference.

    You can get the sources at
    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=24545

    If you are looking for an rpm, you might have a hard time. As I recall,
    RH6.2 uses RPM 3. All of the new RPMs from RedHat are for RPM 4.

    I did a quick search on rpmfind.net and found the following RPMs being
    listed as part of the PowerTools-6.2 for i386 distro. I think this is
    like "add-ons" for RedHat.

    http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/powertools/6.2/i386/i386/libax25-0.0.7-
    2.i386.html

    http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/powertools/6.2/i386/i386/ax25-tools-0.0
    .6-2.i386.html

    http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/powertools/6.2/i386/i386/ax25-apps-0.0.
    4-3.i386.html

    OR,

    You can avoid the whole RPM mess altogether and use Debian. This is what
    I would personally recommend. It has a far superior packaging system,
    you just type

    apt-get install ax25-tools

    and it downloads ax25-tools and all the package(s) it depends on (like
    libax25) for you, installs them all, and you're set.

    But if you like RedHat and RPMs, that's certainly your right.

    Hope this helps!

    Hello;

    I am upgrading my system to Red Hat 6.2. Which version of ax25 utilities
    is
    compatable with this?
