I am looking at upgrading our Linux workstations at work. We run Redhat 7.0 right now, and would normally just upgrade to the latest Red Hat but now they charge $$ now for the OS, which used to be a free download. I am considering SUSE Linux as well. We use Linux as a technical desktop in an engineering firm, and I also use it to run application servers like Tomcat and other Java apps. Any recommendations?

The only thing "official" you can get from RedHat now is the Enterprise server. The desktop stuff has been dropped. Fedora is their free "experimental" version, which (I believe) still has the desktop stuff. However, from every report I've heard, Fedora has all kinds of problems.
I'm still running RH 9.0, which is the last "free" desktop version they delivered. Much better than 7.0, esp. for desktop stuff. I'm facing a similar decision soon myself, and will probably go to Slackware for servers. Old and familiar to me. For desktop, I haven't a clue what to tell you. |
