Kindly look at MSRTC, the second largest State Transportation organisation, which uses only Centos, or BEST in Mumbai which replicated it's model. They are surely informed. and they save taxpayer's money. > > Make no mistake, I have nothing against RHEL/CentOS but you cannot > trivialize another distro like Ubuntu just like that, or argue that a > completely arbitrary N-years support cycle is the clincher without > considering the specific internals of the organization itself. In a mission critical environment you are out of job if you make a mistake. If you are a grocery vendor or a private4 medical practitioner etc. it is a different issue. BTW, For medical usage consider Openvista or something equivalent.

AHA. "LTS" Now what does that LTS mean? Please heed to professionals who have risked their careers on RHEL/CentOS. You have the freedom to choose bleeding edge or stability. Freedom is about choice. Look at the TN's neighboring state Kerala. They have entirely shifted to foss.Come out of your well. -- With Warm Regards and best wishes, Rajagopal _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
