Re: (off topic) why PATH
my 0,02 I think I used standard path only the first installation of MySQL in 2002, after that I always I had my custom way of installing it which lead me to be able to have *any* number of instances of any independent version. After some years I saw Giuseppe Maxia's Sandbox which is a nice 'packaging' of that idea. I never use if possible standard directories which are a heritage of the very first idea of unix (multiple users use same tools on a machine), I think today is really out of date, today you need to tune and twist the system at your needs to get the best out of it. With my technique for instance you can setup a mysql cluster on one machine(for testing purposes) without the overhead of virtualization. In my opinion the OS should be an abstraction of the hardware and the software as independent as possible from it. So, software and data and anything else on /whatever mounted on some safe storage and just /etc for startup scripts, in this way you can switch server and still retain all your software with all the benefits you guys well know.

Re: (off topic) why PATH
these are totally different things get a look at a VMware HA-cluster and after that tell us again that chroot has anything common however: both chroot and virtualization has nothing to do with this whole topic, really nothing Am 01.01.2012 22:33, schrieb Claudio Nanni: I am a bread baker, you can relax.
