Re: [SL] RedHat Linux 5.2

[kevin b. <kev...@bi...>]

hi omar,

might be time to check out debian if you are going to reinstall - i 
found that after RH has been installed for a year or so the dependencies 
get mixed up and become so much of a mess that further RPM installation 
becomes impossible.

most people start out with RH/mandrake but once they switch to debian 
they tend to stick with it.

as far as i remember the packages required on debian were libdbi-perl 
and libdbd-pg-perl

and were installed by typing

#apt-get install libdbi-perl libdbd-pg-perl

and the system automatically downloads the latest versions of the 
required packages.

also, slackware is known to be a good distro for machines which are 
carrying out specific tacks shuch as database and web serving etc.
