RE: Red Hat or Suse

[Gogala, Mladen]

There was a little squabble when RH tried promoting Postgres (a.k.a "Red Hat database") but after a retaliation from Oracle,  Red Hat came to its senses. Suse was merely a tool in this squabble. It isn't big enough, software availability is so much worse then for RH and they are trying to lock people in SuSE distribution by putting software in unusual places. Relinking SuSE kernel was practically impossible, because of  unexpected dependencies and kernel not returning the proper version string so that OSS was unable to recognize it. Need I say that SuSE Helpdesk was less then helpful? I ended up downloading the regular kernel from ftp://ftp.kernel.org compiling it and ditching the SuSE kernel altogether. For Thanksgiving, I'll go back to RH, now that they are using standard GNU CC again. -----Original Message----- From: Yechiel Adar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 04, 2002 3:29 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Re: Red Hat or Suse I heard that Oracle is shifting it's priorities from Suse toward Red Hat.   Yechiel Adar Mehish ----- Original Message ----- From: Juan Miranda To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 5:53 PM Subject: Red Hat or Suse   Hello   Red Hat advanced server or Suse Enterprise ?   What is better with Oracle ?   What is more recent (kernel 2.4.19, asynch I/O, big mem, etc) ?
