[JDEV] j1.2 on RH 6.2 --??

[dlb]

thanks for the recommendation Nathan.  Since my original post I've been able to
set-up 1.2
using a very basic config and intend to improve upon this as a familiarize myself
with the various options.  Daemontools, even beyond jabber administration,
certainly looks like something I should investigate.  The server in question has
been established for development purposes, so the administration aspect isn't too
imperative right now .

thanks again ;
David
