I've been running *nix boxes for a while, but I've gotten WAY too comfortable with GUI-point and click type stuff. Most of what I've been running have been RH boxes, and I always tried to find RPMs. From xWindoze or rpm -i -- it's all kind of mindless. (I SAID I'd gotten way too comfortable - <it's a Windoze corruption thing, I think>). Anyway, with SA (and qmail) I decided that I really oughta do things "right", so I just installed from the tarball(s). And then upgraded from the tarball(s). I figured it was giving me a clue as to how little I really knew and making me learn. But now I'm hearing a LOT about how I should be installing via CPAN or via the SRC RPMs, and I wonder.
I'd really appreciate feedback.
Learn to spell (notice how good people like DQ, JM, MK, SB - your heroes - are at English?), learn to think rationally. Learn to set yourself goals, learn to set up policies and implement them; in short, learn to think the Unix way.
