  1. Re:Yahoo's R&D? on Yahoo R&D Chief Joins MSN Search · · Score: 1

    I think Yahoo's search engine is better than Google's.

    the Linux development community, no matter how well intentioned, simply cannot advance Linux the way we can

  4. do both on Build From Source vs. Packages? · · Score: 1
    build your own packages from source. Ten servers are managable, but if you want to scale upwards, building from source for 20-50 servers becomes unruly. Just make your own packages using your favorite packaging tools, be it .deb, .pkg, .rpm, or whatever.

    I highly recommend cfengine to manage your configuration files, though. Makes scaling up of servers very easy. Managing 10 servers is the same as managing 500.
