RHEL 3 on precision 390 ?

[Gary Gatling]

Greetings,

We used these "unsupported" alsa rpms for quite a while in our labs before 
we upgraded to RHEL 4 in August. They worked pretty good for the 
Precision 380. We haven't bought any Precision 390s yet. I'm hoping the 
upgrade from RHEL 4 to RHEL 5 will be less painful than the 3 to 4 upgrade 
was since they both will use a 2.6 based kernel.

Cheers,
