Boy am I glad that is over….. I just spent the last 5 hours trying to figure out how I broke Perl on my server last night. I came to find out that I didn’t break it last night, I broke it on Thursday. I don’t know how many of you deal with Linux ever, but it isn’t the easiest thing to troubleshoot, especially if you aren’t very familiar with a lot of it.
I think Linux, or any *nix, is a good thing and I hope it holds on and gives Microsoft a run for their money, but somebody has got to come up with a better way to install and maintain software. Dependencies are a nightmare. I’ve been told many times these problems arise because I am using RedHat. But I wonder if any other distros have a better answer. Do any of you have much experience with Linux and if so, how do you make sure you don’t install software that is going to kill your other programs? Maybe I’m the only one who doesn’t “get” it. Maybe I’m not….
