[WBEL-users] WBEL-5 ???

[Carl Krauthauser]

Hello Alon!

Thank you for the advice, I do appreciate it.  I have 3 machines here 
with which I use CentOS (1 with 4.7 and 2 with 5.2), all of which are 
servers.  I also have one using WBEL 4, one using Startcom 5.2, and 2 
using Scientific Linux 5.0.2 and 5.0.3.  Once upon a time had a few 
using Tao Linux and X/OS Linux, and even toyed briefly with Lineox; all 
of the last were converted to CentOS.  While I like CentOS very much, I 
have also liked the fact that it is is not the only RHEL-clone in town.  
I do not relish the thought of any of the others going the way of Tao, 
X/OS, and Lineox, thus, would like to support WBEL and the other efforts 
in ways that I can, starting with using them.  For obvious reasons, my 
WBEL box does not have direct access to the outside world, but 
nonetheless, has done, until recently, all the code developmental work I 
have needed it to do.  I am noticing that software development is moving 
at a slightly quicker pace than has been the case for me in the past, 
and so, am having to convert to newer versions of RHEL-clones quicker 
than before.  While I should like to continue working with WBEL, being 
limited long term to WBEL-4 will mean having to migrate to CentOS, 
Startcom or SL.  This will be sad because I truly like the variety of 
RHEL-clones, and it would mean for me that one more has gone by the 
wayside.  It is this that precipitated my original question.  Thanks 
again, Alon!


Cheers,
Carl
