3. Access CVS (through the Eclipse CVS plugin is the best GUI for this, so it might not be necessary to have a separate tool)
a GUI still can't do scripts.
Whenever scripts are necessary I have cvs as-is. But when I do a commit of new source code and want an easy way to see the difference from the current CVS conveniently nothing (that I am aware) comes close to Eclipse' "synchronize with repository".
3. Access Exchange 2003 server (I already asked Ximian for a price offer for their connector to use with Evolution)
For mail you can use imap. Calendaring is more complicated.
Keep in mind that evolution currently has a problem displaying Hebrew.
Yes. At first your statement made me worried but then I realized that I actually never use Hebrew at work.
4. Share disks with other UN*X and windows (NFS, Samba and remote CIFS mounts of course)
5. Maybe share user database (LDAP?)
NIS? winbind?
Winbind, I suppose.
Our sys admin is not quite cooperative on this front, so there are limitations on what exactly
can be done.
We already have CD's of RH 8 and RH9 at the office. We expect to see both of them at customer sites.
Why?
RH8 is already past its end-of-life. RH9 is nearing it. Can anybody here
attest to the quality of Fedora Legacy <http://www.fedoralegacy.org/>? Alternatively you may decide to do your own fixes, or to pay Progeny.
Keep in mind the inherent binary incompatibility between RH8 and RH9
(NPTL).
Well, I'm not in direct contact with clients (our first Alpha will be on AIX, of all things). I suppose that's what our sales peope heard from clients.
Keep in mind that with RH9 you'll have problems demonstrating bleeding-edge tools.
I'm aware of that, that's what triggered the question - FC seems "BLeeding edge" (vs. "leading edge"), and RH 9 is missing many recent improvements.
But why do you feel confined to use RH? Why not use your Debian, if you're so familiar with it?
It should have a benefit for stability (all the packages come from one source). As for usability: I leave that to you.
Again - nobody here except me knows Debian. We already have to deal with RH and using Debian won't take the "RH familiarity" requirement away, it will just add another environment for people to learn.
Thanks for your comments,
