Linux VM? Let me guess..Red Hat Enterprise Linux on a Dell? (I hate

they do.) Along with the fact most of their products are utter crap. I

I've seen better "enterprise" products come out of dumpsters.
I dunno, while I prefer to run Solaris on servers, I make pretty good

I'm not saying I hate linux for servers...I just hate RHEL and Red Hat as a company. ;)
Remember, you go out of your way to break things...that sorta
disqualifies you from complaining that things are broken. ;)
True. YUM is an more just braindead than it is broken.

Yeah, why leave all that spare capacity idling?
There's a REASON why the might RSX-11 HTTP server exists, no?

Hi.
I've got the much underused domain recondite-computers.co.uk
<http://recondite-computers.co.uk>, which I thought I might as well
offer up to anyone who wants a host name listed under it.
Currently only www.recondite-computers.co.uk
<http://www.recondite-computers.co.uk> and
tardis.recondite-computers.co.uk
<http://tardis.recondite-computers.co.uk> are being used (the same
virtual machine).
All the mail for the domain currently bounces via @tardis.decnet.org
<http://tardis.decnet.org> (as i never could get SMTP working on
tardis), but i can add MX records if required.
As I can't think of anything to do with it (it was originally for a
Star Cops wiki that never happened), I thought I'd offer it up to
you lot.
Tony.

Hello!
Take your time Steve. Tony can you document someplace how you
assembled your host that's running on your domain name?
And what your site needs Tony is the Doctor, but he's busy over here.
