Build From Source vs. Packages?
mod_critical asks: "I am a student at the University of Minnesota and I work with a professor performing research and managing more than ten Linux based servers. When it comes to installing services on these machines I am a die-hard build-from-source fanatic, while the professor I work with prefers to install and maintain everything from packages. I want to know what Slashdot readers tend to think is the best way to do things. How you feel about the ease and simplicity of installing and maintaining packaged programs versus the optimization and control that can be achieved by building from source? What are your experiences?"
hahaha
I am lame. haha.
You don't know more than a professor.
FOR THE NTH TIME! THE WORD IS YOU'RE!!!!.
I can't believe the laziness and outright stupidity of people posting on this board. These are the same people who can't see why Joe Average isn't using Linux because "it's so much better" yet can't use proper English.
If this poster, and the others who use the same incorrect spelling, are any indication of the quality of IT personnel in this country it's no wonder the jobs are being moved overseas.
Why don't you eshutthefuckup?
All I know about Bush is that I was still alive when Clinton was President. - any of 500 US soldiers
Ann Arbor here, how do I get a swell job like yours, and get out of this mortgage bank temp-slave hell? ;-)
Mmmmmm... Bold, yet refreshing!
What do you mean?
The Gentoo Portage system was copied from FreeBSD?
I don't know the meaning of the word 'don't' - J
You act as if no US soldiers died under clinton, that's simply untrue. Clinton got us into rat fucks all over the world. At least wtih Bush the soldiers were honored and died for the interests of their country rather than solely the interests of their country's leader.
That which is done from love exists beyond good and evil
Some people want something specific, and Gentoo and the BSD's are there for them.
Ah, you are talking about GAYs .
