Re: WDSC for Linux...

Group,

Interesting discussion, however being as this is a WDSc list could you
please either keep the acronyms to a minimum or include an acronym
finder search url in your signature, i.e. http://www.acronymfinder.com/.
I found myself losing the thread of the conversation because I kept
stumbling over the TLA's.  Keep up the discussion but realize there are
people out here that don't always know what you mean by LSB, BSD, etc.

Thanks

Here's an alternative: IBM could just choose one distro to support -

say

Red Hat.

Hmmm... I'd say RedHet is a poor choice.  Many years ago, it was

popular. 

Then RedHat split into an open source version called Fedora and a 
commercial (for pay)  version that's still called RedHat.  Now you 
don't

see too many people running RedHat anymore.  A lot switched to Fedora,

and 

I suspect a lot of Fedora users have switched to Ubuntu, since ease of

use 

was the reason they used RedHat to begin with, and Ubuntu surpassed 
them

in that respect.

However, that's just my impression -- I haven't done any actual 
research

to come to that conclusion.

If IBM wants to pick just one to support, I'd think Ubuntu would be 
the first choice.  Or maybe Debian.

I agree - I prefer Debian based distros myself.  I just picked Red Hat
out of the air because it is probably the most recognizable an probably
has the highest penetration in the corporate world.  At least that is my
non-researched impression :)

Thanks for the explanation of the different BSDs as well - good stuff to
know about.
