[ale] Fedora grousing

Wed Oct 23 11:48:41 EDT 2013

I'm no avid Red Hat fan (more of a SUSE guy), but I'm glad to hear that they are FINALLY putting in some proper support for XFS as the default filesystem in 7.x...at least that is what I have heard.  We've been using XFS for everything except /boot on SLES for years now....with no additional charge, and no restrictions about it being used for /.  I hope they will finally make this a possibility with RHEL.

Leam,

You better learn to love Fedora, because RHEL and Fedora are going to be in sync again real soon.  As soon as the next release of RHEL ;-)

As much as I love RH, there's no real argument against this. It becomes a choice of the lesser of two evils.

The whole "not up to date enough" garbage from web people makes me want to puke constantly.  I can't tell you how many times I get a web developer who has developed some site in PHP on the latest Ubuntu Ornery Orangatan or Pliable Platypus, or whatever the latest Ubuntu release of the minute is, with every PHP option installed and the latest bleeding edge version.  They try to get it to run on one of our SLES 11 or RHEL 6 servers, and it won't...  they don't understand that I can't just "upgrade to PHP 5.4.x"...yeah...5.3 with backported security updates is currently supported on this release - don't like it?  Take a hike.  Oh, and giving them dev space on a server with the same patch level doesn't help, because they can't possibly work within the confines of THAT old environment.
The fact that so many web people think developing on a bleeding-edge workstation distro is a sane idea just throws fuel on the fire of my dislike for Ubuntu.

I can't fathom why anyone would use Ubuntu for servers. If you don't
need the, I have to admit, nice things that RHEL provides (once you
pay enough), why wouldn't you be using Debian? If you're going to say
"not up-to-date enough," well, you did say "Ubuntu LTS." That's just
as stale at some point.
