        That’s exactly why we need to give them the boot.

        Hard disagree. If you’re running something business-critical, the support that you get with a RHEL license {or any other vendor, for that matter) is worth its weight in gold.

        If you can’t fix something, you don’t want to be looking for solutions by sifting through forum posts directed at home users when the business is losing thousands of dollars per hour. That’s what the license is for, and that’s what you pay for.

      Actual question. Isn’t installing stuff from third party repos like super dangerous? The package scripts run with root access, right?

      So, I guess you could tell if the hash of the package matches the hash of the code after you build it… But, what about upgrades on that package after it is installed? They could change the setup scripts and screw a lot of people right?

      Not saying these guys do it, just wondering about security stuff.

        quote stolen directly from the repo:

        “Science isn’t about WHY. It’s about WHY NOT. Why is so much of our science dangerous? Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won’t hit you on the butt on the way out, because you are fired.” — Cave Johnson (Portal 2)

        ideally package build scripts should be checked each update (although i am personally too lazy to)

      I heard it is buggy, I think I’ll wait for Linux Vista to be released.

      Is it really that bad? I haven’t used it in years so I’m not following it. Do they literally have a built-in keylogger?

          Microsoft does collect a lot of data. But storing every keystroke is first of all impractical, because it would take a lot of disk space to store every keystroke of every user, and secondly not very useful unless they also knew when, in which application, and in what context each key was pressed.
