Re: Prefered Linux Dialect...

[Peter Grace <pgrace@xxxxxxxx>]

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.

Pete
