What are your primary concerns? If stability I'd definitely go for CentOS, it is just an RHEL recompiled, and RHEL is damn stable (I use it at work on all servers and haven't had an OS crash for five _years_ with it). And you have EPEL if you want extra packages which RHEL does not provide. -- Francis Galiegue ONE2TEAM Ingénieur système Mob : +33 (0) 683 877 875 Tel : +33 (0) 178 945 552 f...@one2team.com 40 avenue Raymond Poincaré 75116 Paris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
