I went from SuSE 8.1 to RH9 and regretted it. Red Hat's RHN update service is not living up to my expectations. The updates seem, to me at least, to be a bunch of minor changes to stuff I never use while I sit and wait for major packages (e.g., Mozilla 1.4) to be updated. SuSE has a very nice automatic update service, and I don't believe any registration is required to use it. SuSE is also making a very strong push for Linux on the Desktop, which is what you're actually providing with an LTSP server. But a downside is the difficulty of finding RPMs that are packaged with SuSE in mind, rather than the most popular distro, which I believe is Red Hat. -- /--- Ed Suominen -------------------------------\ |> Registered Patent Agent |> Independent Inventor of EE Technology |> Author, PRIVARIA Secure Networking Suite || Freely available at http://www.privaria.org |> Nothing above to be construed as legal advice || or the opinion of my firm or any client. \--- http://www.eepatents.com -----------------/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
