Shows my Linux ignorance I guess, I thought FC was about the most mainstream 'free' Linux around. (And if it's not free, I might as well stick with Windows - right?) It's difficult to know what you're paying for with Redhat Enterprise - the Linux community (in common with most technical communities, IMHO) doesn't seem to communicate that well with 'outsiders'.
The problem with Linux, is that the 'bleeding edge' seems to include things that are considered de-riguer in the Windows world - like PnP. That's how I got into all this trouble in the first place: I started out trying Alien BBC ... and now I'm installing Linux ;) Anyway, I'm getting OT ... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Lars Kellogg-Stedman Sent: 13 March 2005 20:59 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [slim] Open firmware for SB2? > Really? As someone struggling to get FC3 configured, You're running Fedora. That would be the "unstable, experimental" version of the code that Phil was talking about. If you want a stable, supported platform, albeit with fewer features, try one of RedHat's Enterprise Linux products. They even offer support contracts. This is almost exactly the model Phil was proposing for Slimserver -- an experimental, feature-rich, always on the bleeding edge codebase for those who like to tinker, and a more stable, more controlled, and generally less featured version for commercial release and for people just want basic functionality. -- Lars _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
