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?

I've been using Redhat 9 forever and just moved to Fedora 2.
To save yourself from package dependency HELL, download apt and synaptic right away. it's the best way to keep all of your packages up-to-date and friendly with each other. Happy Linux'n (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif) If you haven't used linux before... just stick with it. If you dual boot and think you'll end up breaking away from windows eventually, you probably won't. The only way to do it, imho, is to just format your windows drive and never look back. Try to keep yourself from thinking, "damn this was a ton easier to do in windows." At first it's hard as heck to make the switch, but you'll be glad in the end. That... or just get an Apple and never worry again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
