I never said anything about a Linux kernel, I said userland based on RHEL. I had a look at it now and while it might not be based on RHEL sources it looks like it was built on an RHEL 5 host, judging by the python banner which says it was built with [GCC version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-50] Most of the standard unix commands are provided by busybox.

The linux components were just for the shell-level interaction and I think they are mostly gone now. In any case, they don't have security updates nearly as often as RHEL/Centos pushes a new kernel which is an advantage for uptime on the guests. If I remember correctly (but I'm no longer at that job, so don't have access to double check) around VMware 4.x or 5.x it no longer had a Linux shell. Although there are still some commands that work, I _think_ that it's now a very stripped down shell, as opposed to 3.5 which had all the commands available in a Linux shell. So, if I am correct, then Les has summed it up nicely. The Service Console was removed in the move from ESX to ESXi, so ESX 4.1 and lower has a Service Console based on RHEL (el5 for ESX 4.x, el3 for ESX 3.x). ESXi has a very limited unix userland environment which may or may not be based on RHEL. It's not really meant for general use and I have no experience with it. I prefer to use either the client or the webadministration (vCenter), alternatively I use the vSphere Manager Appliance for remote cli access using esxcli or vi-cfg, and sometimes I'll toy around with PowerCLI in a Windows VM. -tgc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Peter Cai wrote: PS: the background of this problem is that Postgresql's order by command depends on the sort result of the OS. AFAIK PostgreSQL will determine its own locale from the system locale when it's initdb'ed for the first time, that locale will then be used for all databases even if you later change the system locale. Perhaps you need to dump your databases and do a new initdb with the proper locale set before this starts working the way you want. -tgc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
