I suspect the more important word is *modern* - for which CentOS will be no better than Red Hat. (The only thing that could be unfree about Red Hat is the trademarks, which Red Hat are obliged by law to enforce if they want to keep them. And as far as libre software goes, trademarks are an irrelevance.) Cheers, Wol ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] UV on Linux question...
Well, it is sort of the OS. The OS, as the likes of Red Hat, are a collection of utilities, of which cut is one. To deal with the changing versions of these utilities, many enterprise versions of Linux will freeze the utilities versions in a release called LTS - Long Term Support. Overtime, 1-2 years, many of these utilities; mySQL, Apache, PHP, and Python, in particular get stuck on old versions. This is why many enterprise applications, of which U2 is one, will specify which brand and release of the OS it will successfully install and run on. If this was not so, then supporting of the ever moving versions of Linux would be a nightmare. This is one of the main disadvantages of Linux and is how Red Hat, Ubuntu, and Suse market their enterprise versions of Linux - a Long Term Supported frozen version of utilities (security fixes are one of the few changes that are backported) that they will support. Fedora, in particular, ubuntu, and others are rather bleeding edge with the versions of utilities which they provide and it is always a continuous chore of dealing with the install and running of applications which break due to the changes. I use Ubuntu for the pretty desktops and boring plain CentOS for servers for these reasons.

[U2] UV on Linux question...
I noticed an issue with the '/usr/uv/bin/uv -admin -stop' command This is with version UV 10.0.0.2 (IBM issue) in the shutdown script (/etc/rc2.d/S999uv.rc for instance) there are mentions of 'cut -c0-5' Which works fine with RedHat Enterprise but gives an error with Fedora 14 (and 13) - seems that cut command wants it's numbers to start with 1 NOT 0 In playing, it seems that cut -c0-5 and cut -c1-5 seem to give the same results. I can always change the script...but I'm hoping that's the only reference to cut in the UV kingdom... Sowhat does your shutdown script say and what Linux are you running?
