Re: [Edbrowse-dev] about compiling 3.5.1

Ok, there are actually 3 boxes altogether.  The first is carhart.net, 
which my brother runs and I have an account.  That's where I have tinkered 
with 3.3.1. and learned a ton.  But I moved away from it because I don't 
have root access, can't install packages and have to give alternate paths 
for everything.  The information for carhart.net is:

[kevin@carhart ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.10 (Final)
[kevin@carhart ~]$ rpm -q centos-release
centos-release-5-10.el5.centos
[kevin@carhart ~]$ uname -rmi
2.6.18-371.9.1.el5.centos.plus i686 i386

Then I wanted to learn more linux and be able to stretch out, and have 
someplace to run long HTTP-scripting jobs that are my weird career.  So I 
went to vpslink.com and have had a 32-bit CentOS for the past five 
years.  It may be considered really old!  I don't know what's going on 
with the installation but would be happy to go into more detail or try 
some commands and report on the output if it tells us something that can 
generalize to others.  Here is the information about the system:

[root@crispi-gosh ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.4 (Final)
[root@crispi-gosh ~]# rpm -q centos-release
centos-release-5-4.el5.centos.1
[root@crispi-gosh ~]# uname -rmi
2.6.18-128.7.1.el5xen i686 i386
[root@crispi-gosh ~]#

Box #3 - The Debian:

The Debian where I got 3.5.1 to compile is just a couple of days old and 
is fresh out of linode.com.  It's very generic, I barely made any 
decisions.  Here's what it tells me about this one:

My Debian 7.5 Profile (Latest 64 bit (3.14.5-x86_64-linode42))
3.14.5-x86_64-linode42 x86_64 unknown

> How am I finding 3.5.1 so far?

It's a pleasure, as usual.  I am excited to play along and learn what the 
new parentNode and event code is doing and ask some questions.    Thanks 
to the developers for all of this work!

Kevin
