Charter Telephone reviews, boylston?
by John Stoffel Sept. 29, 2018

Sept. 29, 2018

Hi, Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky all the time, esp when it rains. So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter. I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet another set top box to have to deal with... So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service? Thanks, John

Release cycle for RHEL / CentOS 6
by Eric Martin July 2, 2013

July 2, 2013

Hi All, The subversion server at my office is on a CentOS 6 server, and a software developer wrote a hook in python for it. The hook requires python 2.7, but CentOS 6 only has 2.6.6 (python-2.6.6-36.el6 to be exact). I grabbed python-2.7.2-5.2.fc16.src.rpm from Fedora 16 and am trying to roll my own via instructions I found on the CentOS wiki. All is good except that it requires db4.8, and that's not out for RHEL6 either. >From where I stand, it looks like my options are: 1) wait this out until either Python or a dependency are pushed up, but when is that? 2) rebuild this package with the deps, but I'm not quite sure how to roll a -devel package 3) roll my own package from scratch 4) install python 2.7 in an alternate location and point to it for this script Since this is a production server, I'd rather no do any hacks on this. Does anybody know how the release schedule works, or have any other advice? Thanks in advance, -- Eric Martin

Did anybody show up to last night meeting? Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
