Trying to get back on A topic which relates to linux....<br>
<br>
If you were charged with putting up a secure internal Web Services framework on RedHat Enterprise Linux 6.4 for a financial application, would you:<br>
<blockquote>
"yum install tomcat6"<br>
</blockquote>
or, <br>
<blockquote>
go to Apache.org, download the sources, compile, and pray. <br>
<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
No, this is not a trick question. I've always just used the tested supplied Redhat version which "just works". But there are apparently other opinions, just trying to figure out if they are crazy. <br><span><font color="#888888">
