Most people seem to be doing just one distribution.
I just *complain* about one distribution. ;-) I use a bunch of 'em. I still have that Debian install on my main PC at home, tho I'm not using it right now. I've also got FC5 (soon to be deleted, I expect), and FC6 (freshly installed). I might well have an install of some MythTV-specific distribution soon. I also want to give FC6 for x86-64 a try, and Ubuntu. Oh, and Win XP, labeled "Wintendo" in GRUB. :) LVM (which I use extensively) is really nice for trying multiple distributions. Virtualization (VMware, Xen, etc.) is making that practice obsolete, but at least right now, IME, a VM is still not the same as running something "on the hardware". When I had a home server (gotta get around to fixing it one of these years), it ran White Box Enterprise Linux, a RHEL clone. I've got a TiVo and a LinkSys WRT54G, both of which run Linux (and are entered into the Linux Counter (http://counter.li.org) as such!). I use Knoppix for rescue and similar purposes on a semi-regular basis. The GNHLUG server (liberty.gnhlug.org) runs CentOS 4.x, another RHEL clone.
Fedora on my home server ...
For servers, I recommend CentOS over Fedora. It's still just like Red Hat, but it has a much longer release/support cycle -- on the order of years. With Fedora basically EOL'ing releases after a year or so, I find CentOS much nicer for servers. http://www.centos.org
Solaris 10u3 x86 on my file server (ZFS rocks!)
Oh yah. I want to try that, too. -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
