<div dir="ltr">Use Red Hat's, even when your developers screech and moan. Applying the 'updated' RPMs as you need to for your aging application will make you happy and you'll be reasonably sure that no crazy changes have happened in tomcat that would require something like a new version of Java to continue to run.<br>

Trying to get back on A topic which relates to linux....<br>

If you were charged with putting up a secure internal Web Services framework on RedHat Enterprise Linux 6.4 for a financial application, would you:<br>
<blockquote>
"yum install tomcat6"<br>
</blockquote>
or, <br>
<blockquote>
go to Apache.org, download the sources, compile, and pray. <br>
<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
No, this is not a trick question. I've always just used the tested supplied Redhat version which "just works". But there are apparently other opinions, just trying to figure out if they are crazy. <br><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
