My vote would be for CentOS becuase if you see a distro in an enterprise server room ,it will most likely be a Red Hat...(my opinion) and while we could include SLES, we will already have Suse to represent Novell.
I also wouldn't mind seeing a representative for a low spec machine distro. Can't think of one of the top of my head except for Slackware or one of its diriatives...is it Slax??? I think the platform split seems pretty relaistic. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
