so, if i understand this right, RedHat Linux just went to a yearly subscription model, ranging from $179 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS) to $2499 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS) PER YEAR ...
WTF??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) so, now i have to pay $179 each year to use Linux as a desktop workstation? this is nuts ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Andy |

Yeah, I can't believe our resident German doesn't use SuSE.
IMHO Mandrake is for babies and besides that it's French (sorry. no offense intended). Men use Debian, real men use Slack, and alpha-males use Gentoo. I've been using Linux for 10 years and just can't come up with a reason to use RH. I've just never liked it. I highly recommend Debian for server duties. It's very easy to maintain with apt-get doing all the upgrade work for you. I have two Debian servers that have not had a keyboard or monitor plugged into them for 5 years and they are to-the-day updated. Debian is quick to provide security updates (which are few), and bottom line it's just a good platform. Whiners say it's hard to use, but they are wrong. -Ben M. |
