I would like to share one of our experiences here while dealing with GT.
My boss had ordered for a CD with latest Postgres and PHP4 rpm's along
with some other tools. GT sent one CD. On that the main postgres rpm was
corrupt. It was not getting installed nor could I copy it on HDD.
We returned the CD back and when we received the second CD, it was exactly
the same, they even did not bother to check whether postgres rpm is
getting installed properly. :-) It looks as if whatever they were giving
on the CD was not downloaded properly and they started distributing those
same corrupt rpm's :-)
I took the best way of compiling postgres 7.0.3 from Network Computing
sources and it works fine. The compilation was a breeze. The documentation
for installing postgres is excellent.
After such an experience will we be encouraged to order from GT any stuff on
Linux ?
[ just my 2 cents to this - no flames please ]
