For Intel, I'm partial to Redhat, but on 390: 1) The SuSE distribution (SLES8) has more current versions of components like the kernel.
2) The networking OCO modules are already part of the package. A number of fairly annoying bugs have been fixed in SLES8 too. The folks here were never able to get Redhat working, but SuSE has gone in fairly easily on both SLES7 and 8. The downside of SuSE is that you have to pay for the maintenance agreement to get it, where Redhat can be downloaded for nothing. > -----Original Message----- > From: Post, Mark K [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 4:08 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [LINUX-390] RedHat vs Suse > > > Duane, > > I would not say that any of the Linux/390 distributions "work > better with > VM" than any of the others.
