Well after so much of drama last few months and at time of recession SUN is finally sold/acquired by ORACLE.The earlier all-set deal with IBM didn`t worked for them and in such a quick time they are with ORACLE.

Well what will be the outcome of this DEAL to FOSS community.
Well i am not that kindaa Evangelist but what I assume is M$ should be ready to get a tough competitor in all senses and i won`t doubt that there will be market share even on desktop market by Oracle in coming time.

Well i had little tensed time to figure out the reason behind the white screen of death while i was installing dev server in my local lan.
So is drupal so bad.

Well no it`s not but some of the poorly written modules do eat up lot of memory.

The Log File follows :---

[Tue Jan 20 16:03:34 2009] [notice] Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat) configured -- resuming normal operations

Okey here is the recipe for those who want drupal running on RHEL5.

----------:Base pkgs needed:---------

1.php.i386
2.php-mysql.i386
3.php-gd.i386
4. mysql-server.i386
5.mysql.i386
6.httpd.i386

well am sure yum install will do all the trick in installing the pkg for you folks.
