Re: [CentOS] which programming language for server-side admin tasks
Just curious, why not just use C/C++? thanks in advance ! Lincong --- On Mon, 6/15/09, David G. Mackay macka...@bellsouth.net wrote: From: David G.

Yes but it has been obvious for a long time that python does not consider backwards compatibility to be important. This shouldn't have come as a surprise. By comparison, perl has been around longer and Judging by some of the comments on the fedora-devel list, it did anyway. through more changes and yet about the only thing you might have to check on a program written for perl 1.x to run under 5.x would be whether you have @ in double-quoted strings that you wanted to remain literal. I used to do a lot of coding in perl, but I found that I liked python better. I still like python for quick and dirty one-offs, but I'm not going to use it for large and persistent projects. One other consideration is that perl probably has the current advantage in terms of available code library modules. Pretty much anything you can imagine doing has already been done and contributed to CPAN so often the code you have to write yourself is trivial with the modules doing the bulk of the work. Java may be catching up in this regard but I don't think there is a central place to find available code. Google? ;) I guess the real question is how well java is going to prosper under Oracle's ownership. Then again, with openjdk, it might not matter too much.

Re: [CentOS] kernel update doesn't update grub.conf
I just updated kernel manually last evening: that is, directly using rpm and it did update the grub.conf. Well, you can always manually edit the grub.conf file, right? BTW: I managed to install 5.3 on the very first generation MAC PRO (xeon 2.66, XT1900) last weekend with old kernel: I took a detour in order to install it directly from CD iso. The system Hung several times and the DVD rom was NOT recognized. However, after updated to the newest kernel last evening, the DVD ram recognized and it did NOT hang any more: at least for about 6 hours. Cheers!

It got a new modified date and the kernel is there, but the content wasn't changed. /etc/sysconfig/kernel contains the correct UPDATEDEFAULT=yes No errors in logs or during the update. No problem to boot with this kernel once added. This is the first time I ever see this happen. Any clues? Kai This happened to me the other day when that kernel came out. init would not reload on the kernel update and yum stalled. I had reboot into the old kernel rpm -e the 128 kernel and yum update kernel again and all was fine. I do have to say this machine was memory limited and swapping on update bad. johnStanley ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
