The beauty of running a binary based GNU/Linux distribution not particularly on CentOS alone but in general (includes Debian, Red Hat, SuSE, Mandriva, etc.) is before the updates are released to the public it has been tested and compiled for use in enterprise production use. When I say updates here it doesn't mean of a new version number of the packages. Instead, the security and bug fixes for the packages installed in the system. This is also the issue raised by Mr. Phillip Berry who started this thread. I for one wants to have a Gentoo system in an enterprise production use. This is not about bleeding edge, optimization, performance and control. Try to think of managing 100 servers all running Gentoo on 5 to 10 different offices/companies with different services and customed applications in production use. Do you think you can still manage all of them? --- Linux GNUbie <gnubieATgmailDOTcom> -- [email protected] mailing list
