Oh, right. A major driver for most of us in the Linux camp was experience with vendor lock-in on proprietary hardware/software bundles, so I didn't read what you originally said as clearly as I should. >>We time our major Linux version upgrades to hardware replacement > cycles and build the new servers in parallel with the old ones. > > Agreed, this is similar to what we do.

Typically we find the hardware cycles to be shorter than the OS ones, for major releases. But that's in the low-cost commodity hardware market. If you lock in to a single-vendor solution, I suppose it can be different. _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
