My first few centos 6 installs were 6.0. I did not face any such problems. No tinkering. Of course later I added some packages from EPEL etc. Still rock solid. Later I updated them. Things are running smoothly even after updates. To the deb fanboi calling centos "cheap": Debian's so called LTS is only 5 years. Centos has had 7 years for a long time and now it is 10 years. People who develop "real production" software will mostly agree with me that an application of medium complexity takes about 18-24 months to go from Initial point of contact to production ready state signoff. Now if one selects a deployment platform having 5 year support and which is already 12 months old, they have effectively only two to three year support for the platform after the system goes into production. Try convincing the CFO/CEO/CTO for anything less and you are staring at not so palatable possibilities. BTW who gives commercial support for deb? Not individuals/humans, entities like companies only please. Companies like companies who can be blamed or sued. So don't badmouth other distros. they are cousins after all. The alternative is of course closed proprietary software, vendor lock-in and the such. Each distro serves a purpose. And oh, IT would be interesting so see how many RHEL/centos/other derivatives boxes are out there in the wild purring along... -- Regards, Rajagopal _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
