Don't -even- go there, Ben. Don't get me wrong - Unix was and is my

it too. Queueing, both batch and printing, is

We have sort of decided to use RH (x86) for serveral
reasons. They are not ordered by priority.
1) It is a major distribution and it appears that it will be around
for a while.
2) One can buy support for it if needed (we're not doing this yet).
3) There appears to be a lot of vendor support

Funny. My laptop (ca. 1996) seems to still have mostly just

Most standards compliant is a moving target, on both sides.

My experience with LPRng is limited. The RHL 7.1 users in our office are
using it, obviously. Their printers were setup using the GUI admin
interface included by RHS, and configured to print directly to HP JetDirect

For that matter, is is probably fine for most desktop systems, too. At
worst, it is still better than Windows, and free, too.
Does anyone know where I can find stats on what Linux distributions
are the most widely used, highest market share, number of downloads,

to clarify what I ment...
I'm not looking for which distro people think is best, or even which
one really *IS* best, since it is a completely subjective judgement.
I don't have any data on this, but, anecdotally, I believe RH is the
most widely implemented on this side of the world... SuSe might be more
prevalent in Europe... another plus of RH for PHB types is that there is
a publically traded, viable company backing it...
