Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

| thank you for doing this.  your efforts have already saved me some
| effort!
|
| i did some unscientific comparisons between an i386 box and my opteron
| and think i noticed a few more packages that are out of sync.
|
| package    version on i386         version on x86-64
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
| net-snmp   net-snmp-5.1-2.1        net-snmp-5.0.9-2
| kernel     kernel-2.4.22-1.2149    kernel-2.4.22-1.2135
| glibc      glibc-2.3.2-101.4       glibc-2.3.2-101.1
|
| is this data correct?  is it worth updating these packages?
|
| the kernel package seems important, but i'm running 2.6.2-rc2 so i don't
| care too much.
|
| let me know what you think, and thanks again for the slocate update!

[csm@stealth rpms]$ rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.3.2-101.4
glibc-2.3.2-101.4

*there are two of these because one provides x86 compatibility I will
see about an update

[csm@stealth rpms]$ rpm -q net-snmp
net-snmp-5.0.9-2 <---- I will see about providing an update for this.

[csm@stealth rpms]$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.4.22-1.2135.nptl
kernel-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl <---- I can provide an update for this also
but I don't want to do both... seems unnecessary!
