Joe,
Yeah, I think we may have corresponded on this topic before.
Thanks for taking it up again.
So, from your message I assume that you've done this successfully?
Do you know if wotaskd and Monitor are newer than the versions in
5.2.4? Right now the install is in '/opt/Apple' as that's what the
Solaris installer recommended. I guess if I move things over to '/
Library' and '/System/Library' then those components will be updated
anyway... I'd also want to change my Xcode targets to make the uname
change that you recommend to the app launching script - certainly
don't want to do that by hand each time.
I'd like to know how one would do this, as that bit is all template
driven or something. I just remember to go edit `uname -r` to Darwin
every time via a sed script.
Have you noticed anything else regarding 5.3 on Linux? Any changes in
performance or stability? Am I crazy to even consider trying this?
Nothing special. It just works, and I've deployed our app on one group
that demanded a linux server for over a year (5.3/5.3.1) and they'll
all be using 5.3.2 in half a month.
Again, thanks for taking the time.
Hunter
