As most of the responses so far are with RHEL, let me try put plus of SUSE here. - As mentioned before both uses RPM internally. SUSE comes with yast and zypper. I have felt that zypper has more and better commandline options than yum. For things I had to modify the yum.conf, zypper had some commandline options. - SUSE always tries stays with the latest packages. However RHEL does not. one can argue latest means it may not still be robust enough yet. In my cases I always wanted my apache to be latest with all security updates. If I try the same in RHEL, i have ended up with wired problems. - The GUI package manager is much better than RHEL. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
