I just went through all the hoops this week installing CVS to manage my intranet that uses PHP and perl to run backend databases.I also use it to manage other binary files, text config files, etc. CVS isn't just for source code anymore! I did have some hurdles, but this particular site really helped me out: http://durak.org:81/cvswebsites/ . Troubleshooting is alittle on the darkside, but in Sean Dreilinger's CVS Version Control for Web Site Projects , there's simple directions for installing CVS on Linux. He recommends trying the cvs login command, but I found telnet 2401 better. If your inetd.conf file is incorrect, you'll get a list of the valid CVS commands sent back to you. I found Sean's configuration to be correct for Linux, but found some of the docs on Cyclic's site to have errors in these files. If your telnet 2401 goes correctly, just enter anything and you should be returned with a bad auth protocol start: Other than that, CVS is really straight forward. I only use the command line interface, as that has everything I need just fine. There's other interfaces, namely jCVS, but I haven't tried it yet.
I've been using PHP for a few of our database projects and PHP makes it very easy to develop web enabled databases. I'm seriously considering switching to Perl though, mainly because some of my newer projects are going to require it and I'd rather just deal with one language than two. Any thoughs on this??
Not another 'can be seen from space' ploy. Maybe M$ did buy France after all! There's no way the French could plant enough trees to be wide enough to be visible, even from LEO. Think about it for a minute - New Zealand can't be seen with the naked eye from space, so how the hell could they plant enough trees??
With many large corporations providing an open source path for some of their closely held products, imagine during an interview being asked if you've every contributed to their open source product. If you haven't, how would that look to the interviewer?? If two potential candidates for that same position were of equal skills, with one working on the open source product for 6 months, and the other not touching it at all, who would you choose?? In the future, will open source change the way companies hire??
The first thing I did was scroll down to the end to see who sponsored the thing.... Wasn't surprised at the result! After that I read it for humor more than anything else. Look at Samba's website for some other performance tests against M$ NT$, I'd like to see them compare NT running on a Sun or HP box! I like the comments that it requires technical knowledge to setup Linux/Samba/Apache - typical stupid comments! Ahem, so let me get this straight - let's make the network very easy to install so the MC$E that conned the manager in hiring them look good. Now when there is actual problems, this MC$E doesn't have the technical brain to figure out how to fix it! When are people going to learn it's not the initial purchase and installation of a network that's expensive, but the daily maintenance, troublshooting, especially downtime is. I for one thank M$ for the constant onslought of shitty OSes, I know I will have a job for life! Thanks Linus for REQUIRING anyone who uses Linux to have the technical knowledge to understand it!
