schestowitzcentos is a mess now... Techrights run it and so does my company's client. it HAS NO YUMFeb 17 20:22
schestowitzUnless yum was uninstalled intentionally (probably for a reason), this is not really CentOS (see http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/BrokenVserver#head-bf758229f34d795cfd2b806bfce27df3131e5e63 ), so I will explore the option of scp'ing yum RPMs over to the physical machines that lack yum and then take it from there...Feb 17 20:22

schestowitz> I like to think that all which reallyFeb 17 20:33

schestowitz> Me:Feb 17 20:33
schestowitz> Julie is doing great. She is a leading member of a local A.A. group and hasFeb 17 20:33
schestowitz> been addiction free for at least 5 years.Feb 17 20:33
schestowitzAn addiction is often a symptom of lack of happiness; happy people are not driven into substitutes for contentment.Feb 17 20:33
schestowitz> She is a problem solver for others as well as for herself; she has over theFeb 17 20:33
schestowitz> years consumed vast information in the field of psychology and gained muchFeb 17 20:33
schestowitz> valuable insight to the psyche of people.Feb 17 20:33
schestowitz>Feb 17 20:34
schestowitz>  I affectionately call her the family pit bull. Only with consent andFeb 17 20:34
schestowitz> permission, she will advise with  logic that rings a bell in your brain andFeb 17 20:34
schestowitz> conscience. As an exercise fanatic she remains a beautiful woman who retainsFeb 17 20:34
schestowitz> a youthful look and is in terrific physical shape. Her character is crystalFeb 17 20:34
schestowitz> pure; she is caring, kind and generous. She has many close friends and asFeb 17 20:34
schestowitz> far as I can see she is "reasonably happy," and what more could any lovingFeb 17 20:34
schestowitz> father ask?Feb 17 20:34
schestowitzSome people, in my humble opinion, are happy at the expense of others, whereas other gain happiness from helping others. It sounds like Julie is the later.Feb 17 20:34
schestowitz> As to your statement  "all which really matters is happiness."  That isFeb 17 20:34
schestowitz> hyperbole...It's an illusion of youth and  young lovers;  in  my opinion itFeb 17 20:34
schestowitz> is unrealistic.Feb 17 20:34
schestowitzHappiness is an outcome, not a commodity. It's an end goal, not the means.Feb 17 20:34
schestowitz> Remember this... MONEY MATTERS.Feb 17 20:34
schestowitzTo a degree. Studies show that past some certain points money ceases to add much to one's happiness and sense of self-worth.Feb 17 20:34
schestowitz> Try being happy if yourFeb 17 20:34
schestowitz> pockets are empty and you live day to day,Feb 17 20:34
schestowitzThat is a 'cliff' edge case. Not rich means *not* "poor", as that would be a false dichotomy. ;-)Feb 17 20:34
schestowitz> on the brink of disaster, facingFeb 17 20:34
schestowitz> threats of health,Feb 17 20:34
schestowitzUS should get national healthcare ASAP.Feb 17 20:34
schestowitz> shelter and living in disgusting conditions among otherFeb 17 20:34
schestowitz> desperate people.Feb 17 20:34
schestowitzOne has to be very poor for that.Feb 17 20:34
schestowitz> Is the person happy... who has to who take a bus to workFeb 17 20:34
schestowitz> every day because he can't afford a car? Can you be happy if you are unableFeb 17 20:34
schestowitz> to support or properly educate your children and knowing you can't even giveFeb 17 20:34
schestowitz> them simple luxuries which are beyond your means.Feb 17 20:34
schestowitzChildren are another matter. State schools are sometimes free, too. As for buses, it's more of peer pressure and social anxiety that play a role there.Feb 17 20:34
schestowitz> For the rich, money cannot buy complete happiness but it surely canFeb 17 20:34
schestowitz> ameliorate some problems and put a sugar coating on troubles, which in mostFeb 17 20:34
schestowitz> cases can be overcome with what money can buy...e.g. psychotherapy, premierFeb 17 20:34
schestowitz> health care, creature comforts galore, and if it is respect you crave, inFeb 17 20:34
schestowitz> many instances money begets that too.Feb 17 20:34
schestowitzMoney earns respect from those whose respect you don't need. They would have to be selfish and shallow. Seek to be respected not for wealth but for good deeds. :-)Feb 17 20:34
schestowitz"Adding yum seems risky to the systems (must back up the server first, as per http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/BrokenVserver#head-cda937737509d6e8500d116b375a1384c7ea8920 ) and I would hesitate to do something that can jeopardise physical servers with many VMs. May I suggest that we verify with the client that they're happy for us to add yum despite the risk? Or inquire to see if they removed yum intentionally?"Feb 17 20:42
