You've installed the development tools, right? If not they're in your Applications folder tucked away in something like Installers (I moved mine off to an external drive but they're in there somewhere).
So, grab the sources but make sure you get the extras as well. Put both in a temp directory, unzip the sources, then the extras, and then do something like
Well, I don't know what flavor of unix you use, but we're talking about different programs.
We're talking about different implementations and you're right, your Linux version doesn't have the -X switch. It's a BSD thing.
And the command you gave works the same way,, except that it is less clear and compatible.
So don't come again to say that my find is wrong, ok ?
Clear and compatible? You're funny. I suggest you spend a little time with the man pages and even be prepared to learn something from those who are willing to offer advice. You might learn something (unless you know it all of course). Oh, that's right, you're a BoFH. You do already know everything.
You should also look at your user page as it seems other mere mortal admins have issues with your find.
Not to nerd the hell out here or anything but your find is all wrong. You should at the very least use the -X switch to make it safe to use with xargs (consult the man page as to why that is) and perhaps even use the full power of the find command. While we're at it you don't need to recursively chown anything as you'll be touching every file that matches *base* -- the -R switch just makes it inefficient.
And should we also assume us is a group?
This might be a tad better:
Roses are #FF0000, Violets are #0000FF, find/. -iname "*base*" -exec chown:us {} \;
I remember when business desktop computers first went to color. First the IBM PC and then the Mac (technically I suppose the Apple ][ was a business machine). "Ah," I thought to myself, "this will never catch on..."
I had an Outbound notebook for a while (see http://www.obsoletecomputermuseum.org/outbound/ for piccies) and it was the worst pointing device I've ever used. The laptop itself was great and the pointing device wasn't the only weirdness: It used honest-to-goodness camcorder batteries for a mobile power source.
I put three production boxes into this RHN service and figured what the heck, I'd checkmark the auto update option. I'd carefully vetted the boxes to make sure there were no dodgy RPMs on them and they were stripped down to the bare minimum to run the services I required. It would save me from a daily visit to the RHN to install updates.
Guess what? The auto update function doesn't work. Nor does it email me when patches are available.
It took me **three** emails to support to find out I had to submit a bug report to get this fixed. The first was ignored, the second wasn't sure what I was talking about, and the third said put in a bug report ("RTFM" essentially). Nice.
When I find somebody who helps me out on IRC I'll usually send them a US$20+ gift certificate of their choice. And we're all riotiously happy in the end. I've recevied quicker action on IRC and better levels of support.
So, the RHN is a fat waste of $180 and I'm seriously thinking about putting in a chargeback on my credit card. I hope Enterprise level support is bit better than this. RH is up the creek if it isn't.
SuSE? Debian? I'll experiment on a non production box fdisking the lot and reinstalling.
There's a couple of reasons. First is you don't have to write your own parser. Many fine XML parsers exist and can be plugged into just about any language. Secondly, the idea of XML is to produce well-formed, structurally correct documents. Kind of important for configuration files I think. Sure, you can still screw up the config itself with your Apache front-end program but having to worry about writing the correct format back is one less thing to program around.
But, it's generally accepted as common sense that when an owner of a company begins to sell pieces of it, and he/she's not planning on retiring any time soon, or starting something else, or selling for any particular reason at all, that's a bad thing.
I'm not sure that I'm going for that one either! If I start a company and expend blood, sweat and tears to get it into a successful state, hopefully I'll be rewarded. If that reward comes in the shape of stock, I'll offload some of it to recoup my investment.
If I was top brass material, I'd be smart enough to negotiate for stock and be allowed to sell it on a term agreeable to the company and me.
Like I said, I think you're looking at this too emotionally. I can still believe in the entity I work for and sell some of my equity in that entity. I worked for a place where I got in on the employee stock purchase for $13 a share. I had to hold it for X days and then I sold it at somewhere in the high $20's. Didn't mean I was leaving the company or knew something others didn't.
You're viewing stock and finance as an emotional decision rather than a business decision. If I buy a stock or investment, I set a goal based on time and value of the investment. When that goal is reached I sell. Period. Unlike Enron where the top brass lied to everybody, Red Hat's management seems to be following a planned decision that at lot of execs (and peons) do all over the place.
The next time you see somebody fall over in the street, why not just flip a twenty at them? Should you see a car wreck on your way home perhaps you can slow down enough to dump your change out of the window. Chances are you'll be doing these folks a real favor as it's obvious the last thing they need is your physical help.
And let's make sure that all those nice Intel boxes are only running licensed copies of Windows. We wouldn't want to upset the shareholders' dividends by having those anti capitalistic types utilizing old hardware. You know, those old machines that Mac OS X or Microsoft XP will not run upon.
Then set your browser's proxy to localhost on 3182 or whatever you've set squid up to listen on. No more snooping by the professor, or employers if you're grep'ing monster.com.
You can also add in -C for compression and so forth. 'man ssh' for more info.
I don't really like Caldera as a distro but SuSE 7.2 installed on both an A21m and A22m like a dream. It recognised all of the standard hardware without incident. I had some issues with the wireless card but that's more to do with having duplicate config files (/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts *and* config.opts? Why?!).
VMWare doesn't do full screen just yet and I'm fiddling with that. Bottom line? The recent ThinkPads work really well with Linux.

Don't write Ruby off until you play with it. And, having played with it, I've written it off. I was looking for something on the client side that was more powerful than JavaScript but not as hefty as Java. Perl moved across the wire would be beautiful and that was the goal of the Penguin module. Alas, it seems to have withered on the vine.

Let's see Dell get them a new battery up there then.

I'm stuck in the dark (frugal?) ages with one of those old style G4 PowerBooks so ppc makes sense for me.

AT&Tws offers a US$5pm plan and a US$0.15 rate to the UK. Not bad. When it's no monthly and $0.05 to the UK (to match Vonage) I'll drop VoIP.

Bah, bollocks, etc.
I don't remember saying that.
You'll also find that it really mangles WebDAV requests, too. So the simplest solution is to open the toggler and flip it off.
Note: This URL will only make sense if you have Privoxy installed.

No laptops for you!.
If you have cable modem or DSL service (even with a dynamic IP), try ssh with the -L option
- ssh -L 3128:localhost:3128 you@your.home.unix.server
Then set your browser's proxy to localhost on 3182 or whatever you've set squid up to listen on. No more snooping by the professor, or employers if you're grep'ing monster.com.You can also add in -C for compression and so forth. 'man ssh' for more info.
Those that have failed and those that will. Backup early and often.

Be a little more open. It'll keep you young.
