| Rahail | any other |
| [TK]D-Fender | Rahail, CentOS = RHEL. God know why they won't install it.... Other good options : Slackware, Debian, Mandriva. Avoid packaged * however. Always compile from source. |
| blitzrage | if they won't install it, it's probably because they have no idea how |
| VioByte | packages are a mess. |
| alrs_ | [TK]D-Fender Why avoid packaged *? |
| Rahail | blitzrage or other |
| blitzrage | it'll always be behind |
| Rahail | is there way I can install centos |
| alrs_ | Behind is fine |
| Rahail | on that same sytem |
| blitzrage | sure -- put the CD in the CDROM and install :) |
| VioByte | intend to install one thing and urpmi or rpm installs more usless shit then you really need or want :) |
| Rahail | lol data center is about 2k mile way from me |
| blitzrage | or else you need like a console access to the box and install from PXE |
| Rahail | :) |
| alrs_ | VioByte I can't speak for those, but the 1.2 debs in Etch work great. |
| VioByte | i do source :) |
| [TK]D-Fender | alrs_, 1.2.WHAT :) |
| blitzrage | compiling Asterisk isn't that hard |
| VioByte | unless its KDE and even thats hell with rpm's |
| alrs_ | I ran Slackware in the 90s |
| [TK]D-Fender | compiling * = dead easy |
| alrs_ | I don't find compiling hard, I just really like good package management |
| [TK]D-Fender | alrs_, I was running Slak primarily up until 1 month ago. |
| alrs_ | and if someone is just starting out with * there's no reason to muck about compiling everything you already have to compile the zaptel modules in Debian, which is bad enough |
| VioByte | Mandriva(Mandrake) was based off of Red Hat back in the day now dell installs Mandriva on desktops and laptops :) and redhat on server still (i think) servers* |
| alrs_ | I remember when Mandrake was around. I didn't like RH to begin with,so I never tried it out. - |
| [TK]D-Fender | alrs_, compiling = 3 little steps. Deal with it :) alrs_, And with any install of Slack / CentOS I've done the only thing I needed to compiled was * |
| alrs_ | [TK]D-Fender I think you're missing my point. My point isn't that ./configure && make && make install is difficult |
| VioByte | they changed from Mandrake to Mandriva due to some cartoon's name being Mandrake the Wizzard there was a lawsuit about it |
