Re:Compiling your own is the right answer. (Score 1)

Sweet. Now Manage 40 boxes just like it. Oh and you have to still get all your normal work done. Yeah, btw we just laid-off two people from your team, so their work is on the rest of your shoulders...

This is why even though I've been running Linux since 1993 (slackware, and I used to recompile all the updates by hand), eventually after the number of machines grew to a certain size, I realized there was no way I could keep them all updated by hand myself. I switched to Red Hat. I get *value* from my RH subscriptions. I'm *happy* to *pay* for that value.

YMMV
