 | View Full Version : Freedom Found!...I Think... hisaacs11 09-22-2002, 03:10 AM Now that priyadi is going to make it his/her mission to set me "free", I've decided to set up my first Linux/Apache box in my house. I'm downloading RedHat 7.3 as I write. What else do I need? Apache 2.0? PHP? MySQL? Sock it to me. Where do I go? What version do I get? priyadi 09-22-2002, 06:20 AM Hey, don't take it too personally. I'm not on a mission or anything. If you ask me what color the sky is, then I will answer honestly, 'blue'. Same goes to your other question. :) As for the above question, the answer would be "no, you don't need to download them, they are already bundled with your redhat discs".

You have done RMS (Richard Stallman, the founder of the Open Source movement) good. :D Shyne 09-22-2002, 01:47 PM The shackles of Windows? Since when are you forced to use Windows? It's so funny how people want to get away from Windows but then they get Redhat and install KDE or GNOME. mind21_98 09-22-2002, 02:18 PM Originally posted by Shyne The shackles of Windows?

It's become almost exactly like Windows but without the software support. :rolleyes: rusko 09-22-2002, 07:50 PM redhat is the microsoft of the linux world. slackware: for those who are men enough to build from src =] mind21_98 09-22-2002, 07:54 PM FreeBSD: Linux's Big Brother. :D priyadi 09-23-2002, 01:53 AM Originally posted by mind21_98 You have done RMS (Richard Stallman, the founder of the Open Source movement) good. :D You are going to be killed by Richard Stallman if he read that. :D mind21_98 09-23-2002, 09:57 AM Originally posted by priyadi You are going to be killed by Richard Stallman if he read that. :D Isn't that true? :D greatbeast 09-23-2002, 12:41 PM Originally posted by rusko redhat is the microsoft of the linux world. slackware: for those who are men enough to build from src =] (I KNOW you were joking, but this made me start thinking...) You know, I think it's kind of wierd. An auto-mechanic who chooses not to go out back, dig for ore, smelt it down, purify it, and make his own nuts and bolts, cast his own engine parts, etc...is considered perfectly normal But anyone who doesnt do same same with their computer (IE Linux, BSD, etc) is a lot of times looked down on by some ("hard core" Linux, etc groupies) Makes you wonder about the thinking processes of the human race... mind21_98 09-23-2002, 06:41 PM Originally posted by greatbeast An auto-mechanic who chooses not to go out back, dig for ore, smelt it down, purify it, and make his own nuts and bolts, cast his own engine parts, etc...is considered perfectly normal But anyone who doesnt do same same with their computer (IE Linux, BSD, etc) is a lot of times looked down on by some ("hard core" Linux, etc groupies) Computer code is easier to make than nuts and bolts. So easy in fact, it's much more of a pain just to copy what someone else has made. :D |
