We recently completed moving from SuSE to RedHat on the mainframe, to bring the environment in-line with our Intel environment. This gave us one vendor to deal with, and one common interface. (And, one common set of problems.)
We don't have to train people to do things one way with some systems, and a different way with others. Maintenance was a nightmare because it was so different between the two environments. Setting up new systems was different. It was really like supporting two different operating systems. Consolidating to a single distribution across all platforms saved us huge amounts of time in terms of training and debugging. -- Robert P. Nix Mayo Foundation .~.
