I built http://jumpcut.com entirely on Gentoo which I've been using for
the past four years. I'm was comfortable with Gentoo and it allowed us
to easily install new versions of common packages without too much
trouble or having to build packages which probably saved me two months
of time... mostly because I suck at building them. Now that we've been
purchased by Yahoo! I need to transition over to Redhat 4.0. Right now
I'm just trying to get the environment setup and some of our custom
software tested. Having been out of the Redhat game (I think 7.3 was
really the last one I actually administered) awhile I've got a few
questions.
1. Where are all the packages?
Looking for things like imagemagick, lame, ffmpeg, mplayer, etc.
up2date -l doesn't really find anything which seems odd. Is this some
channel problem, do I need to setup some yum thing, just track all these
down individually, or build them myself.
2. Can I get new versions?
Mysql 5, Apache 2.2, and PHP 5.1 would be really nice if they exist
somewhere.
3. Is there some nice web page that tells me all this?
I've been poking around RHN, but haven't found a "you already know
Linux, here are all the Redhat-ism shortcuts" page.
