Novell Linux Desktop 9 Vs. Redhat Enterprise WS?

Posted by Cliff on from the when-the-IT-dept-finally-caves dept.

amorelock asks: "I manage a small group of 4-6 Linux software engineers / developers that are part of a larger engineering organization. Our IT department has finally, after several months of pushing-back, decided to support our Linux workstations. The have requested that we use an off the shelf distribution that will be fairly easy to manage and maintain (we're talking about Microsoft folks with practically zero Linux experience). We are evaluating both Novell Linux Desktop 9 and Redhat Enterprise WS. Have any fellow Slashdot folks had experience with either of these two distributions, and if so, what did you like or dislike about either of them?"

    With NLD, you can get these

    Well, you can get them anyway - just send a SASE. But it would be kind of silly to put a NLD sticker on your RH box...
