(crosspost) We are setting up a new project and this involves installation of Linux (we are still deciding between debian, redhat and mandrake) and I would like to ask for your opinions on what distro is more suitable for this kind of setup with one of the major consideration will be the ease of task for installing Linux in 100 pc's. Is there such a way to minimize the task of installing linux like a centralized installation on a network? Is it much better if i install linux via local cdrom or just place the installation source files on the networked server?
Also, I need some opinions of on the design structure for the file system on our linux server with proper partitions if we intend the server to be used as a news server receiving 1GB of newsgroup messages each day over the internet with 100 users who will log each day to run scientific applications and internet resources. How will this kind of setup help me in restoring my backups when sudden things go wrong in the future? TIA gracie _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
