Thats is one thing which we need to know how to for pushing and deploying in enterprises. Eg: One decides to use lets say "Fedora Directory Server", but his group has internal expertise on Ubuntu. Or the admin might have been using Apache to host his intranet, found that management decides to use Open-xchange for a groupware application and thats on Suse. He will have to for a learning curve finding which location is for httpd.conf!! It happened to me recently. Was using vsftpd in my intranet on a Fedora box. Decided to try out Ubuntu-64bit on a new box. So while formatting the box decided to give /var partition a larger size. To my horror, when configuring vsftpd on Ubuntu found the default directory is /home/ftp!!! Now how do I ??? I want to use FDS but my box is Ubuntu, so should I steal another box for Fedora/FDS sake?? Is virtualisation an answer?? anand _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
