Re: Red Hat

yes!!!!!

they make FC for test, then distribute it. So they can keep getting support from openSource community. Then Next RH would be based on it.

Ubunto is based on Debian.
If you want different try gentoo/of Bsd or some thing.

Re: Red Hat

hmmmm
shell is more like making sequence of system utilises(commands and stuff)
Perl is language in which you can do amazing things.

Sell you get stuff done, perl can show you new world.

Amazing things lik wht

Re: Red Hat

hmmmmmmm
let me see. hmm

do a search on amazon , for perl see how many things are being done with it.
Ppl develop libraries and share it. So you have your machine; you have your imagination and right library you can do amaazing things.
Many scientist/bio-chemist etc etc use it.

Re: Red Hat

hmmm thts nice … but yaar i m already so much into .net … i wont lik to take a U turn …:frowning: … want to learn abt linux for general purpose … mgt b required somwhere in future …in som project :chai:

Re: Red Hat

hmmmmmm
i see.
Install suse, and use it. Suse has package manager called yast. Easy to manage.
Plus every thing else.

If project is on RH, then try FC 9/10 , there are some good doc(online) to get you started on shell.
Once you do it, you can get a book called "classic shell scripting".

Re: Red Hat

All are pretty much the same, I like ubuntu.

Re: Red Hat

thanks alot Pmonkkk :)

Re: Red Hat

agree with PM - when it comes to scripting… nothing beats Perl ! I’ve used it in industry as well as research apps :k:

Re: Red Hat

par wont u think perl is nwwwwwwww obsolete ....

Riddle time

Re: Red Hat

can't comment on that question with confidence since I haven't been in the programming scene for a few years, but I have personally not come across anything as light-weight, versatile, and full-featured as Perl. As an interpreted dynamic language there aren't a lot of other contenders to consider.
Last I heard, Perl was still being used in a lot of mission-critical production environments at major institutions like NASA, DoD and NSF... so that makes me think that it isn't obsolete just yet.

May be PM or someone else can confirm or refute my opinion.

Re: Red Hat

okkk ... u knw it take time to shift the code of all above system to some new programming language.... so thts y perl is still alive coz of themmmm

19

no I'm not talking about maintaining apps... but even some of the new apps that I've come across are being written in Perl because it has a small footprint but still able to meet all the run-time requirements of a sophisticated rich application environment.

Re: Red Hat

^perl still Rox :lifey:

intox, hmmmm i openSource/linux, we don’t really have obsolete mania.
Porting thing is very very flexible.
you can have linux , make it small enough to port it on a wrist watch!!

Its a different domain. As Umer said its still being used in NASA.
So far ther is no substitute for it. But then why would some one need a subsitute when ppl are developing libraries for bleeding edge stuff like blue tooth and stuf.

Close to perl is python, which I assume must be equally old.
But Again nothing is older then assembly and C , and the both are one of a kind.
