Hi Guys,
Appreciate you are all busy people, but why would you choose SuSe first over Redhat? I am not questioning your opinion, just like to hear reasons to grasp a better understanding. I like SuSe, just because I have used it over the last few years, but as you know just installed Redhat and like that as well. Perhaps I am not using the full potential to understand benefits from one distro to the next.
Take Care,
Jamie

Hi Ben
Just about finished a Linux From Scratch build (ver 3.3) in the hope that
it
will provide me with a stable base on which to build a whole new system.
This
started off as a basic Red Hat 7.3 install - I'm begining to see why RH is *lovingly* referred to as Dead Rat after hitting a brick wall with their gcc-2.96 and gcc-3.2 compilers.
You're a brave man! Respect!
Gentoo is fine if you want an optimised install without the masocistic tendencies of an LFS system. Go to Red Hat/Mandrake or SuSE for easy, all
be
it, bloated installs. Or alternatively, use Debian - Probably the most popular distro on this list.. (apt_rant deleted).
I use Gentoo as well, and wouldn't use a conventional distro again. However, you're quite right here. If I were to choose a distro, I'd choose SuSE first, and Red Hat last. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- www.convergent-ict.com You manage your business.
