Hmm. I use mostly RHEL systems and given the stuff i do/chase/break/fix/concoct/babysit/admin/design/build/etc. , the most accurate preposition is "in".<br><br>Eg: "_in_ the LDAP server I found...", "_in_ the dogtag process there's a...", and "_in_ apache, the config...".<br>
<br>Of course there's also, " there was a spark _in_ the server", " I hear a clicking sound _in_ the hard drive array", and "_in_ the heat sink as well as the entire system is a layer of black, semi-conductive dust".<br>
<br>What I quite happily have not heard is "on" as in, "the router is on fire". But I have heard, "that part is on back order".<br><br>I've been known to work "with" great people but more usually "for" PHBs :-) I've also been know to get "on" a rant and a soapbox. Linus complains when I climb onto his personage :-)<br>
<br>Generally, I do work with, in and on RHEL systems.<br><br>Yes. fun with words!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 28, 2011 at 9:51 AM, Mike Harrison <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cluon@geeklabs.com">cluon@geeklabs.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
