Red Hat and OEL seem to be the only 2 flavors ( one really I guess you could argue ) that we see in my area.

As an aside, I just installed Ubuntu 10 on an older pc I am setting up for one of my kids. This is my first linux desktop install in quite awhile (Suse 9) and I have to say I'm impressed at how much friendlier it has become. Connecting to internet via a wireless bridge repeater and it had no problems finding it, wanted to put all the educational programs on it and that was accomplished with a simple "sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop" and going for a coffee while it did that. No more installing never ending daisy chained libraries/dependencies just to install a simple app this time. Is it linux for mom & pop yet? Not quite, but for my mom who uses her PC strictly for internet browsing, scanning old pics and downloading from her digital camera, definitely. Perhaps cut down on all the "there is this window that tells me my computer is probably infected and offering a free virus scan popping up, should I click ok?", or at least not worry about them as much.. But getting her to install something with sudo apt-get..? nope

No need for commandline stuff. -- Terry Dykstra

I dunno, the bigger the company, the more "department servers" where people think they are special and rationalize wheel reinvention, DIY, bleeding edge, etc. I may be way out of date, but I have trouble imagining people change as much as technology. jg -- @home.com is bogus. http://media.signonsandiego.com/img/photos/2010/05/05/sealion_t352.jpg?980751187beea6fc26a3a9e93795d379f58af1c4 |
