If any one of my developers did not ensure that his software complied with our package management procedures he would be fired on the spot. What you describe is a pretty obsolete way for somebody to maintain a Linux workstation, your mention of /opt as a separate partition dates it to about 2003. It's not the way it should be done these days. Also, with current configuration management and revision control systems, along with the use of in-house software repositories there should never be any situation where the distribution and your own in-house code could be confused with each other.Quote:

BS alert rings big here, I will be curious to see your justification for it. And why only the fonts, not the images served by your webserver ? and how a user agent is being specifically targetted for it and all of it being configured at your webserver level for no real specific purpose. Again your justification will be more interesting than flashing out words most IT retards on TD wouldn't get (including Harry of course)Quote:

I know you are Irish and pretentious like all Irish are, but really stop flashing words for the IT handicapped here, it makes you sound ridiculous, even though we know you are taking the piss, but it's like lecturing nuclear physics to a bunch of monkeys in cage. Try that on provisioning admin forums instead :rolleyes:Quote:

But RPM as the only solution ? certainly not, and you need to wake the fuck up if you think a dependcy package manager is going to help in mass provisioning (2000 servers as you claimed)Quote:

what about /u1 ? now if there is something to be pissed about, it's all those wankers who put all their commercial packages under /u1
fucking wants me to smash the whole server over it :p
and DrB, you are an old dude, yet smart man
what the fuck are you even bothering configuring and admin provisioning 2,000 servers ? this is low level admin monkey shit, leave that crap to the kids, they love it. We are too old for that shit dude. All that admin technology is pointless anyhow, it's more of a production chain for worker slaves than enlightening technology to inspire building greater things.
Just saying, you should focus on doing better things with your mind than provisioning servers for idiot customers :)
have you tried music and playing an instrument ? :p

^ I've been using linux at work for many years and different flavours of unix before that. I use it at home too but I wouldn't recommend it to inexperienced people. The reason is simple, not enough driver support. Drivers are made for windows because they make money, not the case for linux.
I use windows 11 at home because it supports all my hardware and new hardware I may wish to buy will work with it.
It's a great way of keeping an old PC ticking along.
Also for building media servers and the like.
Probably too complicated for you snubby.
DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD.
I guess nobody knows what happened to lom. I am well aware as to what linux is as I have it running on a backup PC. I was being sarcastic. :)
No you weren't, someone probably installed it for you and you don't know how to work it.Quote:
