The new IBM boxen arrived, and infrastructure@ will be installing them this week. There's been quite a bit of talk about which OS to run on the machine. From the looks of it, we're probably getting Red Hat Enterprise Linux v3 (RHEL3).
This is a quick vote to be sure we're in agreement that's a sane choice. Please place your votes:
[] Linux [] RHEL [x] Debian
Debian.
[] FreeBSD (probably 5.2.x)
java support on freebsd sucks ass.
you don't have to vote if you have no clue or no preference. Please include rationale for choosing one over another...infrastructure may be interested...
In addition, understand infra may decide otherwise based on other concerns (like having to maintain only a finite amount of operating systems).
As an aside, any chance one or two of the gump peeps could get root on the gump box? We've found that to be very handy every now and then :-D
yes, that would be reduce some of the infrastructure concerns a lot.
