I would like to convince my boss and my collegues to use Gentoo
GNU/Linux at the company office for the desktop system (and maybe one
day also for servers).
Currently everybody uses its own Linux/Unix system, but soon we could be
forced to uses for everybody only one system.
Any anticipated forced action indicates that there is a problem. Identify
the problem and show how Gentoo helps to solve it. Since you do not write
about the problem, you should not expect much from the answers, all being
based on some guess and/or assumption.
For example, since Gentoo is a meta distribution, it may allow everybody
to continue to use Linux their own way and still keep the management happy
thinking that all are using the same thing.
I must probably convince the people to use Gentoo Linux against RedHat
Scientific Linux and FreeBSD.
If the choice is between Red Hat Scientific and FreeBSD, you (as an
organization) clearly do not know what you need. Thus, Gentoo may be the
least risky option since if you ever find out that you need a BSD or even
a Solaris kernel, then you can switch to it easier from Gentoo than from
Red Hat.
Does somebody has some good key arguments?
The mines are:
- newests packages with newests security updates, encryption support and
full integreated KDE desktop to be used in office without problems
- high performance desktop
....
These arguments proof that Gentoo may be used, not that is should be used.
