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::Install::Bundle(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Module::Install::Bundle(3)NAME
Module::Install::Bundle - Bundle distributions along with your distribution
SYNOPSIS
Have your Makefile.PL read as follows:
use inc::Module::Install;
name 'Foo-Bar';
all_from 'lib/Foo/Bar.pm';
requires 'Baz' => '1.60';
# one of either:
bundle 'Baz' => '1.60';
# OR:
auto_bundle;
WriteAll;
DESCRIPTION
Module::Install::Bundle allows you to bundle a CPAN distribution within your distribution. When your end-users install your distribution,
the bundled distribution will be installed along with yours, unless a newer version of the bundled distribution already exists on their
local filesystem.
While bundling will increase the size of your distribution, it has several benefits:
Allows installation of bundled distributions when CPAN is unavailable
Allows installation of bundled distributions when networking is unavailable
Allows everything your distribution needs to be packaged in one place
Bundling differs from auto-installation in that when it comes time to install, a bundled distribution will be installed based on the
distribution bundled with your distribution, whereas with auto-installation the distibution to be installed will be acquired from CPAN and
then installed.
METHODS
o auto_bundle()
Takes no arguments, will bundle every distribution specified by a "requires()". When you, as a module author, do a "perl Makefile.PL"
the latest versions of the distributions to be bundled will be acquired from CPAN and placed in inc/BUNDLES/.
o bundle($name, $version)
Takes a list of key/value pairs specifying a distribution name and version number. When you, as a module author, do a perl Makefile.PL
the distributions that you specified with "bundle()" will be acquired from CPAN and placed in inc/BUNDLES/.
o bundle_deps($name, $version)
Same as "bundle", except that all dependencies of the bundled modules are also detected and bundled. To use this function, you need to
declare the minimum supported perl version first, like this:
perl_version( '5.005' );
o auto_bundle_deps
Same as "auto_bundle", except that all dependencies of the bundled modules are also detected and bundled. This function has the same
constraints as bundle_deps.
