In principle, we include only things in our tests and test objectives that
have been demonstrated to be important from our Job Task Analysis.
I posted a few issues to get a founded opinion on some things that may be
omissions from the JTA. The opinion from a limited group of experts is a
dangerous thing to use however, because it depends on whom you ask; and if
there is no consensus, it is probably wiser to not decide by a majority of
"votes", for the same reason.
So I would like to use an additional criterium for the questions on what
tools we expect people to be familiar with: the tool must be the preferred
tool (used or installed by default) in the majority (at least 4 of 7) of
the main Linux distributions:
Caldera Open Linux
Debian
Mandrake
Red Hat
Slackware
SuSE
Turbolinux
(These 7 are listed as leading by Linux Weekly News; the 6 that we
initially targeted over 2 years ago are still in this list, so I consider
this a stable and strong selection).
So now my questions are, which of these 7 distributions prefer:
(partitioning)
fdisk
cfdisk
sfdisk
parted
Partition Magic
other?
(boot manager)
lilo
grub
other?
(printing)
Berkeley lpd
LPRng
CUPS
And, for the fun of it:
(mailserver)
sendmail
postfix
exim
smail
qmail
other?
I would appreciate if everybody will post authorative information, or
better still someone gives a complete overview.
