Hi Gordon,
unfortunally they have not clearly stated WHY they don't trust SL (the
problem concerns above all pubblic IP requests)...I've produced several
docs in order to explain how often patches are released, security related
issues and so on...but until now they simply say NO!
Hi really hope they give me some suggestion in order to close this problem
(I'm still waiting for a IP address since Sept 2004...) and make clear
once for ever that SL IS secure!!!
Cheers
Vega

Vega, you don't say why your guys don't trust SL3. There has been a lot of
effort invested in it. There are successful LCG installations on SL3,
SLC3, and Centos as well as RHEL3. Is there anything anyone can do to
help convince them?
John

Thanks to all,
now i've clear in mind what to do if SL will be not trusted (sigh)...

Hi,
Well, at Imperial College we used up2date rather than apt or yum. But
otherwise it was the standard yaim installation, using same binary rpms
as for SL3 installation. The only problem we encountered were missing
rpms from the base RHEL distribution, that are assumed present as they
are in the base SLC distribution (see other thread!)
cheers,
Owen.
ps. For unrelated reasons, I would love to be able to access the full
set of SRPMS and recompile them... strangely this has never proved
possible! ;-)
Fortunately SLC is supposed to be binary compatible with RHEL and in
this case has even actually appeared to be so!
