A low barrier to entry is great for development and testing but horrible for production. A GUI or other framework that can assist getting a service up and running quickly is a great help; the developer or admin and his customer(s) can quickly understand its applicability to the task at hand. Moving that service into production, however, requires a different understanding: risk assessment, scalability, configuration boundaries, etc. The rapid-development tool rarely provides such insight, with predicatable consequences in production. -- Paul Heinlein <> heinl...@madboa.com <> http://www.madboa.com/ _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
