Seb, true, however, in my experience its nice to have a more standard site python install. (if only because it seems messy somehow to have to put up with a proliferation on pythons on one box). in my experience SuSE handles this quite nicely, i.e. if you install Zope via SuSE RPMs you get a "clean" install (no proliferating pythons plus rc scripts etc.), even if it isn't bleeding edge in terms of release numbers... also, on the whole SuSE stability is v. good i think cheers, Garry On 3 Oct 2001, at 13:33, seb bacon wrote: From: seb bacon <seb@jamkit.com> To: Julián Muñoz Domínguez <jmunoz@softhome.net> Copies to: zope@zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] Better unix distrib for zope ??

I want to have a really stable server on the net (for running zope), where I can upgrade without having to upgrade anything. I would like to have your opinion about (all oriented to Zope):
One of the nice things about Zope is that it doesn't have any dependencies outside the standard libraries. I've never had any problems compiling it on any platform. It's also very self-contained; apart from some little things like start and stop scripts, there's little a distribution package will offer you over a source install, IMO.
