Dont mess around with the rpm it pretty much sucks.
I hope you are talking about the binary rpm, which isn't made for RHEL, and so *should* suck on RHEL.
The source rpm is just fine on RHEL AS3. I installed Python 2.3.3 from source rpm, and then installed Plone from source rpm.
I does not sucketh whatsoever, but comes with nice management scripts.
The Gentoo ebuild should be out shortly, which solves all problems, anyway.

It's just an astounding achievement.
Last year I went from 24 years in the corporate sphere to academic work. I am so happy now I don't know what to do with myself, even though I'm making about $30,000 per year less than I was.
When I interviewed at the university, I was told how laid back everything was, how 9-5 it would be, and how I would be pretty much my own boss. Most of that turned out to be a total crock. Most things about university work are pretty much the same as in the corporate world, except with less money.
Everything operates pretty much in crisis mode all the time. I pull all nighters monthly and work lots of unpaid overtime. Managers are still simultaneously out to lunch and egotistical as a rule. Requirements come from ever expanding committees instead of just a team of five or six pseudo-technical project managers.
Being funded by grant money is about as stable as working in an overheated IT economy where bean counters can't offshore work fast enough. I still feel like the bottom could drop out at any moment. And just like the corporate world, there's still not enough money for that protocol analyzer that would save a couple month's worth of work. You still never get the resources up front you are promised.
However, we're not working to some imagined market demand that might evaporate if we don't get there first. We actually get projects not just done, but sometimes done right. We might be working furiously and pushed hard. But we will take the time to get it right. It's greatly satisfying knowing I am working on things that are going to be good.
We use great technology. And lots of it. I don't have to say I work in a Java shop or a C++ shop or a Microsoft shop or a Unix shop. I can concentrate on one set of skills if I want. But if they aren't working for me, I can do things some other way. Python is making me happy.
I'm working for the good of society. Work I am doing will help make the world a better place. It isn't manufacturing hype to steer demand for some product which will be here today and gone tomorrow. It isn't listening to some manager's near criminal schemes to fleece money from an unsuspecting public. It isn't a company trying to get something for nothing, either from their employees or their customers. It's saving lives and advancing science.
Science is far more interesting than markets. Making something in a lab and then going and taking it outdoors, maybe up on the roof, maybe out in the ocean, and collecting data from it that can tell you something nobody knew before... that's just cool.
I work with a distinctly better crowd of people than ever before. Are there politics? Sure. Any set of social relations evolves politics. But the overarching reach is cooperation for the good of humanity rather than competition for individual survival. People who work for less money to be in such an environment are not only just plain nicer to be with on a day to day basis, but they are generally a whole lot smarter and more interesting. We like being together after work. People are doing all kinds of different things in close proximity to each other, with lot of cross pollinating results. It's intellectually stimulating. And I just GPL'd code I got paid to write. That was a strangely exhilarating feeling.
Campuses are beautiful places. At least the one I'm on. You have to get out and walk from building to building a lot. And thereby subject yourself to the flowering of spring and be immersed in youth. This has an effect that may sound trivial from its description, but I can't put a price on it. It's like being alive instead of being a Dilbert zombie. I highly recommend this being alive stuff.
The perks are unbelievable. I traveled a lot, and to exotic places, in my corporate jobs. But traveling to academic conferences is a whole lot more enjoyable than traveling to go set up an experimental server on some unknown network with a deadline and havi
Howard Dean does not support the outright legalization of drugs, but condemns incarceration as the least effective means of social control.
From selectsmart: "We need to treat drugs as a public health problem. That's difficult to do. We actually don't have a lot of drug users in our jails; the ones we have in there are drug users who are also dealers. Jails not a particularly effective way to get people to stop using drugs; treatment is."
the death penalty
Incorrect.
There is no death penalty in Vermont. A leading death penalty opponent and founder of the Fair Trial Initiative is even one of Dean's three main webmasters.
Dean recently retreated from his earlier pledge to direct the FDA to study medical marijuana.
Incorrect.
On Larry King Live this month, Dean just reiterated his position to order to the FDA to study the issue and make the issue solely dependent on medical opinion.
Dean's positions are seldom troglodyte thumbs up thumbs down on any issue but rather considered and nuanced positions based on evaluation of facts.
it isn't rich people who are giving $1000, it's middle-class people
good lord! what kind of drugs are you on?
lookie, here's some real dope. the average 2Q donation to Dean was $112. the average 2Q online donation to Dean was $74. only 129 of the 45,000 2Q online contributors to Dean gave $1000 or more.
i'm involved in local Dean organizing through meetups. we track of our local donations to Dean for America. locally our average donation is $51. that's what the middle class gives. and by middle class, i mean that our donors range from college students to psychiatrists.
we had exactly *one* guy, a republican and local CEO, who gave a big donation. not exactly middle class. but then, he was the exception. without his donation, our local average would have been more like $40.
i'm sorry, but if you bother to check out those $1000 and $2000 per plate Bush dinners, you will definitely *not* find the middle class present.

any new article on mainframes would necessarily be ibm-centric because ibm is the only mainframe manufacturer left on the planet. all the others have dropped out.
legacy apps are not the reason mainframes hang around. legacy apps last because of the incredible ease of centralized management on mainframes.
gone are the days of the dumb mainframe terminal, also. modern mainframe of today offer advanced graphics and windowed desktops. more often than not, the modern mainframe terminal is a low end pc with attached host print emulation.
increased miniaturization only makes for better mainframes. modern mainframes are just well put together microprocessor clusters.
mainframes make killer webservers: cheaper, faster, more reliable, smaller footprint, and easier to maintain than huge farms of pc servers.
this is about a controversy -within- the physics community. since members of the physics community (sokal, as mentioned in the article) have taken upon themselves to sully other academic communities concerning determinism, it only makes sense they are held to the same yardstick they would hold others. for instance, ironically in light of the sokal hoax, quantum theory has been in revolt against determinism for most of a century, with significant criticisms against that trend from einstein at solvay in 1927 and 1930 and at princeton in 1935, from bell in 1965, from clauser in 1978, and from aspect in 1982. individuals among quantum theorists may have very definite opinions about the relevance of causality vs correlation. but as a community the only thing they appear to agree upon is that some among their number are speaking gibberish. just who among their number are speaking the gibberish depends on who among their number you talk to. some, like wheeler, will insist there is not even a controversy, and this is taken up as an orthodox academic position by many physicists.
i haven't noticed any "ceaseless battering of the physics community in the name of sensationalism" by slashdot. there is, however, a lot of disagreement among physicists as to who is making any sense, whatever the writer of the article understands.
since i live in the town where social text is published, and heard through the tales from fish's grad asst, my first reaction upon seeing notes on postmodern programming was, "oh no, not another hoax," since it reads so much like transgressing the boundaries: towards a transformative hermeneutics of quantum gravity.
as long as it's about the task of identifying and organizing like minded people, consider that it only takes five people at each precinct meeting to completely take over the democratic party at the national level. that is a much simpler and more distributed task which so-called libertarians have yet to undertake. granted, it doesn't have the wacko appeal of secession.
indeed, mccullagh is quibbling over his interpretation of technology as the word is used in the DMCA. he seems to interpret technology as code per se, and thus excuses the DMCA as not prohibiting research that doesn't publish code. yet science mandates that research must be repeatable and refutable. you can't very well properly repeat or refute code you can't access or inspect, only possibly supply a different implementation, which would in turn be prohibited.
mccullagh fails to mention other provisions of law which prohibit the marketing of or any other activity relating to codeless research which could be used to construct code. thus the lawyers whom mccullagh quotes appear quite incompetent.
the title of mccullagh's article is misleading, since he proposes to debunk myths plural, yet cites only the one from his imagination. he may quote more than one source or instance, but he only has one mythic myth.
mccullagh is further misleading in representing that the eff is protesting sklyarov's arrest as being for sklyarov's speech. the eff is quite clear that they are protesting his arrest for working on a product in a country that not only doesn't have a dmca, but where the dmca would violate express guarantees of fair use.
mccullagh contends that pr fear will temper corporate invocation of the dmca. freedom of speech by corporate restraint, how comforting. i feel the chill lifting already.
in real life, mccullagh runs a bot collecting news on technology law.
With that said, you're probably screwed unless you get your fiancee's buy-in.
does it occur to anyone that it's the fiancee that's maybe screwing herself?
why would a sane person marry someone with these values?
if she realizes the case against it, as severely life punishing in real terms as it is, and still wants the diamond, you have to question whether this is someone to chain yourself to for the rest of your life, or worse, to possibly involve in raising kids.
the idea that she should be embarrassed with the ring is rot. plenty of women eschew the faux custom for the right reasons stated and no one much bothers them about it. anyone who does bother them about it can pretty well be ignored or educated.
there are other things to make rings out of other than diamonds, you know.
freud was right. war is sublimated libido.
this is creepy. yeah, my gal wants a lampshade made of human skin to make her feel like she fits in with her peers. should i get it for her? it would mean an awful lot.
the only thing more contemptible than the woman who wants a diamond ring in the man who would get it for her. wise up.
actually, i have to believe that anyone who posts as much information about the case against diamonds as antistatickid must already understand this and is just trolling.
i don't think the respondents realize to what the question refers. i don't think this is about breadboard kits like the fm transmitter kit or the optical swith kit. i think it's about the packages from the 70's where there were spring loaded terminals mounted on something which looked almost like a gameboard and allowed very simple passive and active components (resistors/capacitors/inductors/transistors/sensor s/switches) to be interconnected with pre-cut lengthes of pre-stripped wires according the hundred or so plans in a workbook for circuits such as the "bird chirp oscillator." if you have one of these in your attic, there are people who would very much like to have one. i know i'd like to find one for my little niece. sure, you can breadboard things yourself from components if you know what you are doing. but there's a sort of vacuum these days for easier setups like the old radio shack multi-purpose kits which were so good for children. it sort of baffles me how children are supposed to learn the underpinnings of technology these days before they go out to create new "research." there are still sources for things like "microprocessor trainers." but the elementary easy access electronic toolkits appear to be gone.

You can find many hosting options starting at Plone.org. But here's some free Plone 1.05 hosting:
http://www.objectis.net
Plone is a serious CMS. If you are that serious, you really need to be dedicated hosting or colocating and control your application server deployment.
I have used Twiki, Drupal, and Plone. Twiki and Drupal are toys compared to Plone. As far as I can tell, any PHP based CMS is a toy compared to Plone.
