Keep in mind that with RH9 you'll have problems demonstrating bleeding-edge tools. I'm aware of that, that's what triggered the question - FC seems BLeeding edge (vs. leading edge), and RH 9 is missing many recent improvements. But why do you feel confined to use RH? Why not use your Debian, if you're so familiar with it? It should have a benefit for stability (all the packages come from one source). As for usability: I leave that to you.

But when I do a commit of new source code and want an easy way to see the difference from the current CVS conveniently nothing (that I am aware) comes close to Eclipse' synchronize with repository. KDE's cervisia does a nice job of handling CVS, including graphical diffs, invoking editors while calling edit/unedit, log view (including graphical trees) and all sorts of stuff. it can be used as a standalone client or if you use Konqueror as your file manager it integrates nicely with it (you just browse to your working directory and click CVS view. next time you browser to that directory cervisia will automaticly take over). If you're use Eclipse as an IDE and want to have all the CVS operations from with in the environment then by all means use Eclipse, you'll find no better tool (I use it that way myself), but if you just want to do some CVS operations then I hardly think firing up the memory eating monster that is Eclipse to be a very good idea. 3. Access Exchange 2003 server (I already asked Ximian for a price offer for their connector to use with Evolution) KDE has some integration with Exchange (Kmail using IMAP), including calender retreival and storage (Kalendar), address book lookups through LDAP (Kaddressbook) and some simple integration with Kontact and KMail's new groupware functionality. you'd need KDE 3.2 for that and that would mean getting FC. 5. Maybe share user database (LDAP?) NIS? winbind? Winbind, I suppose. I use Winbind from Samba 3 and its very easy to get it to authenticate against a Win2K PDC. I also suggest pam_mount which automatically mounts remote file systems on login using the login password - we have a file server with some often used shares and I find it very useful to have it automatically mounted. Again - nobody here except me knows Debian. We already have to deal with RH and using Debian won't take the RH familiarity requirement away, it will just add another environment for people to learn. I would like to suggest Mandrake which has a somewhat RedHatish feel but is better in some areas that I found important (integeration with an almost all windows office environment is one thing - for example, you can tell it during installation that you want to authenticate logins against a windows domain and it will just work). -- Oded ::..

Anyone's experience counts. from stability point of view, you should install RH 9.0 - but it's a dead goat because of redhat's recent moves. Yes, I learned this by now. But right now the feeling I get is the FC is not stable enough, and that an installation of RH 9 should be upgradable to FC once FC is more stable. i got my PC installed with fedora (fedora core I - with the patches that were available from redhat at the time). i use it for java development (althought i don't use an IDE yet...) and it works mostly stable. it's overloaded since i run on it something that was planned to be run on 3-4 different machines, but it did not crash on me yet. Good to hear that. I'm more interested in being able to count on the dist that whatever I install/remove on it, it will still play and I won't find myself learning to handle RPM hell (being a spoiled Debian user I almost never had to deal with this :)). it's open-office seems to be the version that doesn't support hebrew (althought i think it should - i think it's version 1.1.0 or soemthing similar - perhaps this is just a fonts problem?), but it shows the english documents written inside the company quite ok (until there are drawings in the documents - that's where it 'squashes' the drawing onto the text). i use mozilla for surfing, since i was too lazy to get a different browser there. How practical would it be to install the OpenOffice binaries from OpenOffice.org(.il)? since the machine has a pentium 4 with hyper-threading, i installed an SMP kernel and it now runs with '2 CPUs' - does windows XP does this out of the box, by the way?

I thought that FC was basically more or less what RH 9 was when FC came out, so anything which runs on RH 9 should behave the same on FC. Is this correct? i don't use any C++ IDE either - by my room-mate, which also runs fedora on his desktop, runs both IntelliJ (Java) and anjuta (C/C++) on his fedora with no noticeable problems. Good, thanks. Anjuta is what I plan to install too. I should also be careful not to setup something too shaky if I want to convicne them to switch the entire office to Linux desktops. why do you want to do that? people should stick with what gives them their pleasure - unless this is an everyone must have the same platform kind of office. Programmers here are payed to develop, not to administrate their systems. The single system admin we have won't be able to support just anything that a programmer wants to install on his system, and setting a common standard in a workplace are still a good thing. As for moving people over to Linux - I expect our workplace would eventually save a few thousands of dollars on MS licenses from doing this. as for the issue of developing on windows and deploying on Unix - i've seen that somewhere, and that was part of what kept me away from that place... The managers considered using Linux as a desktop for programmers almost a year ago when we just startted working there but decided that it's too much hussle at the time to inter-operate with the Windows which had to be used by secretaries of another body to which we are connected. Now that we have a dedicated sysadmin and our networks are pretty much separated the situation might be more ripe for an all-Linux network. --Amos = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
