Three Enterprise Operating Systems Compared

Posted by timothy on from the or-none-of-the-above dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Finally, a much awaited review of enterprise OSes. The guys from NW Test Alliance pitted Red Hat, UnitedLinux, and Windows against each other and rated them on several rubrics. Red Hat won by a slight margin on the basis of its high hardware compatibility and strong security integration."

    While I appluad NetworkWorldFusion for their decision to test two GNU/Linux distributions, I am upset that they chose to cloud the waters with their third choice of Microsoft Windows, a propriortory and closed Operating System. Much better if they had chosen The GNU/HURD!

    It also appears that despite my efforts to date, journalists have still not learned that the correct spelling is GNU/Linux. I have asked NetworkWorldFusion to change their article to refer to Redhat Enterprise GNU/Linux and UnitedGNU/Linux.

    If they do not respond then myself any my followers here at the GNU Project have vowed to start our own online magazine, called GNU/Fusion. We are already working on the GUILE scripts to generate the HTML 2 content, and have appointed an interim editor. We hope to have the first edition available via. Gopher and Usenet at around the same time that Bill Gates admits that he is an extraterestrial being from a small planet in the vacinity of Orion.

      Your whining is paying off RICHARD (can I call you Dick?) - the article actually references them as GNU/Linux.

    Also, RedHat is super pretty!

    Why don't you just take it easy and read the fucking test!. If you had read the article you would have seen the difference between price for the SUSE and Redhat distribution. And the test results came out very similar. Price was in fact one of the cons for the Redhat distribution.
    Now who is the fucking moron!
