Novell Linux Desktop 9 Vs. Redhat Enterprise WS?

Posted by Cliff on Thursday July 7, 2005 @10:15AM 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?"

It does make sense... I, for one, am not richer for knowing that CentOS is a "attempts to be 100% compatible RHEL clone". I'll be able to run it at home and hopefully have better compatibility with work.

If you can't add anything, please don't post a comment that detracts..
