How painful can a Linux to OpenSolaris migration be?
We have a business application that basically runs on an os-independent stack (tomcat+java+mysql) but we have always run it redhat or centos. There is a customer that is insisting to run it on opensolaris for his own reasons (an expensive everything-is-included support agreement with Sun). How painful can such a migration be? We have ...
Why does PostgreSQL run on Ubuntu after install without using initdb ?
I am curious as to why you don't have to use initdb as per the postgresql manual prior to running psql the first time? (I have installed version 8.3 on 8.04.1) Red Hat requires -c postgresql start but not init.db. However, on FreeBSD you have to run initdb. Why isn't setup consistent? Does it come down to a difference between apt-ge...

Php 5 on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5
By default, RHEL5.x64 comes with 5.1.6 - pretty old. I'm looking for a more up to date version, 5.2.8, or even the latest 5.2.9 (as of March 2009). Ideally, a Yum/RPM-based solution, for transparent upgrades (when I plan). How do you upgrade the default for an up-to-date version? ...

Is Red Hat's JBOSS a fork of the code you get from JBOSS.org?
Does anyone know if Red Hat has forked the code you download from JBOSS.org? I'm guessing that the answer is "yes", but I'd like to confirm it. I can't pin it down at the Red Hat site, and jboss.org giving me an HTTP 502 right now for some reason. I know that Red Hat owns JBOSS. Does that mean that the code they sell in JBOSS Develo...
