Hi list, The company I work for is linux based, we work with our own app written in wxPython. I am having a lot of trouble finding a suitable desktop OS, I've just went with redhat but I think I am having second thoughts about it . Freebsd (wich we use for some servers) would be an option but: I find it really difficult to keep freebsd up to date in a desktop situation, recompiling things like gnome can take a lot of time. So what I would really like is to make one machine the build/test machine and keep this machine up to date with the ports and portmanager or so. Can I then set up some kind of repo with the packages from this machine and run something like "yum upgrade" on every desktop we have ? I know something like sharing (thus building it only once and installing it on multiple pc's) /usr/ports could be done but it is still to much work and I would like something that also works over the internet. Ideas anyone ? kind regards
