The first shot across the bow! Bill, there's no 'F' in GNHLUG <g,d&r>
Just as a counter-proposal, might not one of the vendors be
interested in giving the group a FREE copy of their Enterprise Linux
(with support and updates gratis) in exchange for a small discrete
banner of thanks?
Before we all start touting the clear superiority of a bunch of
distros that all run the same binaries, might we not want to identify
what we want to do with the box, what our parameters of security/
reliability/robustness/updatability/cutting-edge-access are, and then
determine the distro (or the choice of building all from source) that
best meets our needs? We could choose the Hummer first and then
figure out how to get the kids to school in it, but going the other
way 'round seems a bit more rational.
Would you like butter with your popcorn? :)
Please pass the salt, too! I love fireworks.
