I have been asked by management to attempt to get a ball park estimate of
how many RT users run on Red Hat Enterprise. I understand that this is
probably almost impossible to ascertain but if anybody has any idea I’ll
just pass it on.
thanks

Does WBEL count? I’ll be implementing on that this month. (my FreeBSD
plans have been nixed)-:
Actually, I bet we could get a statistically significant number of
maling list members to answer a poll via the wiki. We could use drop
down boxes to capture all those tantalizing details:
I’d be very curious to see the results.

Actually, I bet we could get a statistically significant number of
maling list members to answer a poll via the wiki. We could use drop
down boxes to capture all those tantalizing details:
- WBEL
- FastCGI
- mod_ssl
- Apache2
- etc.
I’d be very curious to see the results.
If you do something like this it would also be interesting to list
all the programs that have to be upgraded past what is currently
available for the distribution for every distribution with a
significant number of users. Probably everything needs mysql replaced
but some might be current with perl.

I am embarrassed to say that I don’t know what WBEL but sure it counts :),
I have played with Linux in the past but most of my professional
development experience has been on commercial Unixes i.e. AIX primarily
and Windows boxes. It seems that Linux may fit what I need to do now.On Mon, 12 Jul 2004 13:30:43 -0400, Phil Lawrence prlawrence@Lehigh.EDU wrote:

Count me as one.

WBEL is ‘white box enterprise linux’ which is Red Hat’s version
rebuilt from the free SRPM components. It is hard to keep up with
application versions but the last time I looked RHEL (thus WBEL)
had an older version of perl than RT requires and if you have to
upgrade things by hand it kind of defeats the purpose of a distribution
like RHEL that is supposed to stay stable with bugfix-only updates
for a long period.

If this were a real concern, Jesse could even implement
an auto-report that would send email to BP when an RT
install boots. (On an opt-in basis, and no more than
every X months, etc) Or maybe at ‘configure’ time. Maybe
having a better idea of installed base would help with
bragging rights.
