Hi again, Thanks for the comments they were all usefull. The file system hierarchy standard is a good idea... no question. who follows it apart from SuSE? - is it a standard if nobody(sic) follows it ? Had it again today..... PHP4 RC1 - the redhat guys had it configured and running in half an hour.... After hunting for includes and headers.. and messing with makefiles etc... I'm now at the apache bit... httpd.conf different again - sigh. I appreciate the efforts made by the SuSE team to do things better/different but it's all taking to long.... How do I tell my boss that SuSE is the distro of choice when all the benefits are knocked out by differences that create work. Sure, If the only distro's here where SuSE and we all became fit in the SuSE way - no problem... but isn't the point with all this that we don't have to rely on any OS/distro/app etc.... Look - I really don't want to stop using SuSE - I like it that I can already handle LVM in YasT - and all the other really good stuff that is in the distro.. and it's emotional too - I lived in Germany for a long time and I know what these guys can do when they want to make something. I need some help telling my boss that SuSE is the way to go. All the technical arguments work - no question (SuSE does it this way this is cool because... - and it means this... etc,etc.) It just takes longer and that means using SuSE for him costs more. I don't know...... hell, I Like it - I'm going to keep using it. help me out guys. bis bald.
