PHP
by Rob Poe 18 Dec '04

18 Dec '04

Saw on Slashdot there are a few vulnerabilities with PHP. Do these vulnerabilities affect the PHP that's installed? If so, is RedHat going to backport or should I go ahead and grab from source?

Re: [Centos] Centos as a desktop

"TK" == Ted Kaczmarek <tedkaz(a)optonline.net> TK> I don't want to discourage one from using Centos for a TK> workstation, but you may want to at least run TK> dual/triple/quad boot and drive a distro(s) geared for the TK> workstation/desktop as well.

I personally TK> prefer to live on the edge on my two machines I do most of TK> my work on, it seems to minimize my learning curve going TK> forward, and also helps the community in general, but that TK> is me, and you are you. Hey, it's a *work*station. I need it to work, all the time, as it's my main gateway into all the other machines. I also need to be able to write documents, admin the other systems, duplicate and fix user problems, prototype code and websites, and so on. For play, I have a bunch of other machines in my office (including the damn Beowulf cluster that hasn't been moved yet!), a shiny Powerbook, and my keen Debian development box at home. That said, yes, if you want the very, very latest and greatest, then I guess CentOS 3 isn't your first choice, any more than Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS or AS or Debian stable would be. For edges so sharp their users are anemic, we have distros like Debian unstable, Fedora Core development (is it still Rawhide), Mandrake Cooker, and so forth. For workstations, stable OSs with support and the occasional newer package work pretty well.

list suggestion
by Francois Caen 17 Dec '04

17 Dec '04

Hello, I'm fairly new to CentOS and to this list. I was wondering if the possibility of creating an announce-only list for CentOS had been discussed before? I'm mostly interested in patch releases and official announcements from the distro maintainers. (great job, BTW! :-) Thanks, Francois
