As someone who supports both Red Hat and SUSE every day, these differences are pretty minimal. Anyone who can't handle both is probably already hurting for other reasons. If nothing else, having both on hand lets you swing one way or the other in your purchasing, based on who's been treating your better or worse lately. Telling your sales people this doesn't hurt either.

Sure, they are both Linux but RHEL and SLES are annoyingly different enough to cause increased work load for shops that are already predominantly RHEL or vice versa. Having all of your Linux servers (z or x86) on the same distro, regardless of which one, means you can leverage much of your existing policies, procedures and skill sets. -Sam ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
