Decided not to redirect the current thread, hopefully you agree.
My thoughts are
Novell SuSE - As current from the old SuSE Linux including Commercial
Packages
- Suits beginners, non-experimentors, Training Organizations,
etc.
- Available as CD's and DVD Each type complete (as some don't have
dvd drives)
- Has at least one selfbooting standalone "trial" CD in pack
- does have stickers, keytag, etc
- Doesn't have experimental, beta, alpha, etc. packages
- Has a DECENT staffed 24hr online and worldwide phone help system
with first five problems
(initial call to confirmed fixed) included (not calls as may
require more than one to fix)
Opensuse - from the opensuse system plus others
- DOESN'T have any commercial packages (I don't include Apache, etc
as commercial)
- Does have experimental, beta and "Safe to run" alpha (with a
readme stating kernal and
other program requirement versions required to run)
- does have multiple new kernals
- does have a tool for patching, etc (yes I know this will be a
giant project, but is a missing
item)
- Available for mailorder sale, bi-monthly sets with complete
updates, as CD's and DVD's.
- Available free as downloadable iso's AND packages (as some of us
are still working
56k max)
- free help from web only
does anyone have any additional sugestions, comments, or am I
shooting blanks down here
