Red Hat _only_ - support, you know :( Tim Cutts and the Sanger Inst. aren't enough to convince senior management that Debian is workable, even though HP and IBM will both support it. Linux == a small team of Red Hat admins only with no other skills required in management speak. (This, regardless of the fact that people are having to take rpms from CentOS/EPEL/Fedora to actually get work done.) I do tease my colleagues that at some time they may have to give up Red Hat's proprietary OS fork and actually learn Linux : if IBM take over Sun next week, I can more profitably argue that I need no longer bother to train as a Solaris admin :) Andy > -- Matt > It's not what I know that counts. > It's what I can remember in time to use. > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit > http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
