Curiosity - Which Linux brand/version do you prefer?
-
Just wondering what your preferences are as to stability/ease of use/support/features, etc.
RedHat. Stability is pretty similar among all distros, but redhat has the best support and I believe the best patch system, but I haven't tried others.

Go for RedHat. v 8.0 rocks! Questions should be mailed to binarybandit@operamail.com . Do not put off until runtime what you can do at compile-time.

I've only used and old verion of Red Hat, and a various versions of Mandrake. Personally I use Mandrake, as I prefer KDE, and its seems Redhat have abandoned it to keep Sun happy. I was considering a move to Suse though, and will probably move if Mandrake does not make it out of administration.

I currently use Gentoo which is the best Linux I have used over the past 10 years. You only have to install the software you require and all this software is compiled using the optimizations you specify. Not for the faint hearted but a great way to learn the inner workings of a Linux system. If you want a point and click install stick with something like Redhat otherwise head over to www.gentoo.org[^]

FreeBSD *snicker* Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

Hello, the CPians around the world.;) I am surprised that you seem not to know Linux at all.:wtf: I believe that connecting to Linux must improve our programming skill as well as change the idea of Windows. As the main poster asks us: I installed RedHat Linux 6.1 and 7.2. How do you want to Linux as the workstation or server? If you want to use Linux as the workstation, RedHat 8.0 seems to be the excellent GUI. If you want to use Linux as the server, the version of Linux may not matter so much because we can download the new Apache server and the others for free. RedHat has rpm file extention for us to install the program easily. We have to use make command to install the program on other Linux OS, and I feel that this is so weried to me. X| Last, RedHat 7.2 has the bug of cc or gcc (?) linker, and we can't link to the kernel library very well.:~ RedHat 7.3 is fixed for this bug. -Masaaki Onishi (eCoolSoft)- ASP.NET and Windows Development by C# and MFC. http://www.ecoolsoft.com

Oh, I know Linux. I have used it a lot, but I still hate it. That's why I said my prefered distro is "NULL" (no linux at all) :-D - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

Debian has a great package system, however the packages are usually behind in version, for example KDE 3 is something never seen on a debian system without a lot of work. My preference is FreeBSD if I have to use a *nix based system because it runs more effeciently as a server. -:suss:Matt Newman / Windows XP Activist:suss:

You should upgrade to the final release of Red Hat 8 ;P (The beta test version was called "(null)")
