[ale] Server distro help

[Jim Kinney]

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".

Eg: "_in_ the LDAP server I found...", "_in_ the dogtag process there's
a...", and "_in_ apache, the config...".

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".

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".

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 :-)

Generally, I do work with, in and on RHEL systems.

Yes. fun with words!

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
