I love it more than ever...as long as there are new toys to play with. I love getting a new shelf on our SAN and figuring out how to move datastores in vSphere around so I can delete and recreate some LUNs on the SAN to maximise disk space and/or IO. I love getting new hardware and seeing how much faster it runs some queries in Postgres. I don't love Mirapoint but I tolerate it. I also love getting paid very well including two good pay rises through the GFC. I'm looking forward to getting my RHCE now that RHEL6 is nearly out. There is always so much to learn to keep myself in love as well.
This was announced about a year ago...old news. They were always going to give up on Xen when they purchased Qumranet...makers of KVM and the SPICE protocol.
I read the article and it says Linux support. At no stage did the page specify flavour. kdawson, Ubuntu does not equate to all of Linux. (It does equate to Linux for the newbie sheep masses).
I gave up on them once I discovered Linux Outlaws (whom I'm also getting a bit bored with..perhaps bored with Linux news every week..no thanks... where is there an enterprise podcast covering SANs and virtualisation ?). As someone else pointed out, Chris and Bryan's "morning zoo" style of hosting is tedious plus Chris has a serious man crush on Bryan which really becomes annoying......almost as annoying as there constant diatribes about Ubuntu.
FreeBSD ports are awesome. I just portupgraded postfix and it broke sasl and therefore broke SMTP authentication.......super awesome. Give me binary updates any day.
But there are still many other shows that don't make it past American, European or Japanese shores at all. For example Family Guy is only broadcast in the US as far as I know and it has been broadcast since 1999, I think it is safe to say it won't be syndicated outside of the US anytime soon. Other shows are totally destroyed in "localization" most anime series are completely ruined when brought to American or European countries.
Yes, everyone in Australia refers teenagers as 13-19 yr olds as well. I think the poster summed it up best when he said, "I'm from Adelaide, too".
I wonder what's in their water....
I just love all the tokens in all IT marketing pictures. Token Asian male, token hottie female (with glasses), token white man (with that christian look), token black man. I especially like the ones where one of the tokens is standing over the shoulder and pointing something out to another token (normally a female), who is sitting down looking at a computer screen.
A pity it does not reflect real society...especially the token hottie female (with glasses.....because that makes her a serious business women it IT!!)
I hope EMC/VMware take a look at them. Purely for ZFS. Netapp would of course jump up and down but it would be nice to have ZFS on EMC SANs.....even better if it was re-licensed to work with Linux.
So apt has the ability to download stuff quicker than yum...wow, that is impressive.
I'll concede that yum checking its database for stuff is not as quick as apt but its not that big a deal I've found on CentOS. It's not that much slower. If you have issues, then perhaps its a PEBKAC problem. I call it Fanbuntu due to posts such as yours.
Check you later, dickhead !
"yum install `package`", now you try. Sigh...
The point I was highlighting was a Fedora/RH user has the same issues using Debian as a Debian user would using Fedora/RH. Just because you prefer a certain way and are used to it, does not make you better. I've used Fanbuntu over the years and set it up fine and then say to myself, "What's the big fucking deal?". It acts just like my Fedora desktop. Granted, I know what I'm doing. There is a large section of Fantbuntu users though who do not have a clue, and then put their 2c worth in everywhere you go. My favourite..... "rpm is so crap compared apt-get"....it makes me want to cry. Where I work, the support boys use Ubuntu as their Linux "distro of the week", and, I shit you not, when I asked them to grep some logs for information, they did not know what I was talking about.
To answer your concerns, (and the following is something that needs fixing and I hope they sort it out by version 6 of RHEL), you only need CD1 to do a minimal install. If you needed more, you did it wrong. No one's fault there but your own. (Hint: use google if you cannot figure it out..or ask me). Also, add the rpmforge repo to get the stuff you want.... scons, lighttpd, etc.
You prefer Debian.... I prefer Red Hat. I'm cool with that. I'm cool with the fact Ubuntu introduces new stuff that was in the previous vesion of Fedora. But the thing I'm most cool with is that Big Enterpise..no...small, medium, and big Enterprise use Red Hat primarily. (From my experience). That way, I get to have a great paying job using an OS I love. When Debian/Ubuntu gets mindshare in the real world, I know I can switch without a problem because, at the end of the day, it's all Linux with the config files in a different spot.
People like me install Fedora on their home desktop machine. I understand rpm/yum and all of the Red Hat specific configuration file locations.
When I work on the Debian/Ubuntu servers, I can mostly get apt and dpks to work for the server configuration that I want, but science damn if it isn't like pulling teeth.
Now that I have enough power, and I have to make a decision on which distro to get support from, do I go with something that I know (Centos and Red Hat) or something that is similiar yet foreign (Debian/Ubuntu)?
The last 3 servers that I've been in control of have been ESX with CentOS VM's.
Wow.... does that mean Debian and Canonical are dead-ends ?
Slashdot Mirror
Absolutely spot on. Could not agree more.
You are an idiot.
You must be a Capricorn.
Yaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnn

No, I did not RTFA. I rarely do.

Actually, I have no friends nor sleep...hence I'm up at 4:30am typing an anti Ubuntu post. I'm just over the rabid pro-Ubuntu agenda.
They're all the same peoples!

With the money you save, perhaps you can pay someone to wank you off! Happy times indeed! (No, I'm not putting my hand up for that job)

"Ubuntu Linux.... as annoying as Eddie McGuire"
VMware Data Recovery is a piece of shit that rarely works the way you want it. Try reading the forums sometime to see how much grief it gives others.
FreeBSD ports are awesome. I just portupgraded postfix and it broke sasl and therefore broke SMTP authentication.......super awesome. Give me binary updates any day.
1. "How are Soviet Russia jokes even funny anymore?"
2. ?
3. Profit.

You obviously don't know shit.

That is so coincidental. Most things I hear about the USA make me never want to go there either.
Sorry, an Aussie fuck who cannot type.
