The cables an= d=20 termination were replaced, as part of one of our tests. Another thing, the general consensus here is that the problem is tha= t=20 we are using RedHat, which I do not agree, after all basically it's all= =20 the same software. Does anyone know of documentation I can use to=20 support or drop my argument, besides a distribution comparison?
