Re: Prefered Linux Dialect...

Hello everyone!

I thought I'd put my two cents in as well. I'm not too guru-like on my 400 knowledge (still a relative admin newbie) but I've been using Linux since '95 and I'd have to say that I'd prefer SuSE over Red Hat.

It's just always seemed to me that the SuSE people "had their stuff together" whereas many redhat releases have always seemed cobbled together at the last minute. Although I have a few friends that work for RedHat, I do have to tip my head to the SuSE crew, since they've always seemed to be the quiet innovators who deliver a solid distro.

If I had my choice, I'd run Debian on an LPAR, but as far as I know there's no debian project yet for the '400.

I believe IBM's favorite is Suse. They use Suse as the base for the HMC code. I get the impression from those in Rochester that it is the preferred distro also.

But I disagree. My preference is RH as it seems the distro of choice here in the US. I have 10 to 1 RH to Suse on the servers I work on. Although if you think IBM's key management is bad, holy mackerel try RH.
