A comparative look at compact sysadmin distributions
09-17-2008 01:00 AM
Things go wrong. Hard disks fail and whole servers crash. Luckily, many Linux-based distributions are available to help systems administrators handle minor catastrophes. We looked at four of the most portable, all of which fit on a 210MB mini CD -- SliTaz, Parted Magic, GParted, and RIPLinuX.
Hi,
I have a shell script where a lot of the code is repeated. I wanted to make the code much more compact so I spoke to a guy and he suggested using arrays, like follows:
#!/bin/bash
readonly -a nginx=('nginx' '--prefix=/opt' '-j 4'
'http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.2.2.tar.gz'

I need some assistance formatting a compact flash card in Ubtunu.
I connect up the CF card through a USB reader. Ubuntu recognizes the reader usb device, but does not "mount" the CF card as a device.
The CF card was formatted in FAT32 format.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.... (3 Replies)

hi,
as you know nearly every distribution has its own package-management and it needs special packages to install different software.
For slackware it's *.tgz, for debian *.deb, for many rpm's *.rpm and so on, but I wonder how a package can be built to be compatibel with every maschine.

Module::Packaged - Report upon packages of CPAN distributions
SYNOPSIS
use Module::Packaged;
my $p = Module::Packaged->new();
my $dists = $p->check('Archive-Tar');
# $dists is now:
# {
# cpan => '1.08',
# debian => '1.03',
# fedora => '0.22',
# freebsd => '1.07',
# gentoo => '1.05',
# openbsd => '0.22',
# suse => '0.23',
# }
# meaning that Archive-Tar is at version 1.08 on CPAN but only at
# version 1.07 on FreeBSD, version 1.05 on Gentoo, version 1.03 on
# Debian, version 0.23 on SUSE and version 0.22 on OpenBSD
DESCRIPTION
CPAN consists of distributions. However, CPAN is not an isolated system - distributions are also packaged in other places, such as for
operating systems. This module reports whether CPAN distributions are packaged for various operating systems, and which version they have.
Note: only CPAN, Debian, Fedora (Core 2), FreeBSD, Gentoo, Mandriva (10.1), OpenBSD (3.6) and SUSE (9.2) are currently supported. I want to
support everything else. Patches are welcome.
METHODS
new()
The new() method is a constructor:
my $p = Module::Packaged->new();
check()
The check() method returns a hash reference. The keys are various distributions, the values the version number included:
my $dists = $p->check('Archive-Tar');
