In general we have found that Houdini 9 is more reliable on linux and even on xp32 than on xp64. We haven't yet been able to reproduce all the xp64 problems reported on the forums and to the bug database, but I wanted to let you all know that we are seriously investigating performance and stability on xp64.
It may help to install the service pack 2 on xp64 if you haven't already.

Personally I found Joe's across the board statement of “WE” are perfectly happy with it and see no reason to change it, implying the entire company of SESI see's no reason to listen to anyone else about what it is doing with the software. This is coming from a representitive of the company, therefore a blanket statement of SESI is getting a bad attitude, is in order.
Most of the time, the SESI people who respond here – as was Joe's case – represent themselves and not the whole company. They are people made out of flesh and blood and as passionate about their work as you are about yours. It was basic human passion in Joe's voice, not an ounce of arrogance. Unfortunately, when today's corporate world teaches you that each sound-bite is carefully brushed by marketing and combed by corporate lawyers, reading a SESI message on this forum naturally makes you believe that the same rules apply to us. Well, for better or worse, they do not. We think our direct approach and our approachability are a good thing, and want everyone in our company to have a voice. We might not answer quite every message, every gripe, every explosive discourse, but when we do, we put all of ourselves in the reply and sometimes even a little more…
If you felt misled by any words spoken by any of us here, I sincerely apologize. I only hope that you believe me when I say that we are not deaf, arrogant, or ignorant of your wishes. And I hope you can see in Joe's other posts how much he cares, like we all do, about balance and reason.
The official SESI position on the node tiles, since there's no escaping now :-), is that we are pleased with the LOOK of the new node tiles, but realize that a good number of expert users find the ratio unbefitting the typical layout of heavy production-level networks. While we are not going to make a change in tomorrow's build, we are never against change. We do indeed see reasons to modifiy the original design, but “if”, “how” and “when” do not always have the most obvious answers. The basic truth is that we constantly monitor feedback and adjust our development course to the best of our ability and with the interests of ALL our users in mind.

A Houdini RedHat 7.X build will run OK under RedHat 8.
Just make sure you use tcsh instead of bash for most things related to houdini. For bash users
we do provide a houdini_setup_bash script in $HFS, so type:
source houdini_setup_bash
if you want to stick with bash once you've got everything installed and the licenses going.
You might also want to use KDE instead of GNOME because KDE lets you configure the ALT
clicks for each mouse button.
