CentOS 3.1 and using yum to update
Some things that don't work:
*Java jre will explode when you try to even check the version
*python will seg fault
I didn't notice right away as apache and sshd appear to run fine.
It there a good solution to using a distribution that will have a long supported lifespan and is easy to update that won't trash a UML install?
All I want to do is stay current so I don't get own'd by some script kiddie.
Thanks!

The only references that I've found related to this problem discuss either memory issues (i.e., bad hardware) or problems with 2.4 UMLs. I'm using the 2.6 kernel, so I'm not sure where to start.
exclude=kernel*
to my yum.conf, and started updating packages one at a time, testing java in between. After updating glibc, java geborks loading java.lang.StrictMath.
Any information or advice would, of course, be quite welcome.
wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/3.1/updates/i386/RPMS/glibc-2.3.2-95.20.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs --replacefiles glibc-2.3.2-95.20.i386.rpm
Just be sure to move /lib/tls out of the way whenever glibc is updated.
