RE: [Full-Disclosure] Fw: Red Hat Linux end-of-life update and transition planning

[Bassett, Mark]

Well as far as similarity goes Mandrake is a modified Redhat so you will notice less of a change going that way.    Mark Bassett Network Administrator World media company Omaha.com 402-898-2079   From: Tim Groninga [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 1:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Full-Disclosure] Fw: Red Hat Linux end-of-life update and transition planning   Got the same f-you-gram today - already figuring out what distro to fall back to but 99% of my experience has been on Redhat. No time to try them all....so FreeBSD/SuSE/Mandrake - what are your opinions of each? Flexiblity, ease of use, ease of migration, security etc. /.Tim On Mon, 2003-11-03 at 12:16, Joshua Levitsky wrote: It's happened.
