Ok, this is going to sound lame, but since I was using OpenVMS for a while
I'm not totally up on Linux..so if someone could fill me in that would be
great..
I installed Mandrake on my PII/300 and it works great. On the Mandrake home
page it says the Mandrake distro is the most "user friendly" Linux and is a
great workstation. However, if this is Red Hat under the hood then why
can't Mandrake be pushed for a server as well? Installing Apache, QPopper,
or whatever else isn't hard and I think Mandrake would make an ideal box in
that repect...any thoughts? If Mandrake was on Alpha that would be even
better..as the new Compaq Alpha machines are screaming fast! The SpecFPU on
a 21264/600mhz Alpha is triple a Pentium III. You can get a Compaq Alpha
21264/2MB Cache SCSI server running Linux for less than $4k. Throw Mandrake
on their and you'd have a super-fast server!
