Also in RHEL v3, the GUI utilities are named redhat-config-* whereas in RHEL v4 (I have not used it but I have used Fedora) it s name start with system-config-*.
Also Gnome is ver 2.8 whereas in RHEL v3 it is Gnome ver 2.4
There is also better support for more hardware.
Other than these, I don't think there will be major changes in RHEL v4 w.r.t RHEL v3.
I took my RHCE exam in RHEL v3.

Hello ravee,
can you please help me to understand RHEL v3 to RHEL v4 Binary Compatibility.
My doubts are:
1. RHEL V3 compiled binary will work on RHEL v4 without having any Issue? if so how can we make sure glibc and kernel (RHEL V4) has back-ward support present in 2.6 kernel?
2. RHEL V3 compiled shared objects (.so) will it link with RHEL V4 built shared object while linking without any issue?
3. How can i make sure that my binary will work on RHEL V4, do i need test the compiler and linker and glibc version has back ward compatible.
help me to understand.
thanks & Regards
