Fujitsu Bundling SUSE Linux
WillAffleckUW writes "Fujitsu, which already offers Red Hat Linux on its servers, is announcing plans to offer SUSE Linux as well, according to an Infoworld article. Sadly, it's only for servers and services for Intel, not for AMD. Still, good news, in that you can go Red or Blue and still be Linux true!"
"No, I don't have anything intelligent to add to the discussion."
Welcome to Slashdot, have a good stay.

My experiences with installing Linux on Fujitsu equipment has been absolute hell recently. The installation instructions for RedHat Linux on a lot of their sevrers force you to use a series of driver disks, then make a bunch of system hacks to get it to install. It takes forever to do, and it's a beeyatch to document it as well, and don't get me started on upgrading the kernel. I can't update it from RHN cause then I'll break all their little modules. So I'm stuck with an old kernel on their hardware. Debian won't go on their BX300 blades... well, it does, but not until you've jigged with the Promise RAID a lot. Also, BSD 5.4 is a PITA to install on a twin CPU RX300. You need to disable one of the CPUs to get it installed, then rebuild the kernel with SMP module.
READY.

I will say that real men do not use: Redhat, Fedora, Suse, Mandrake, Gentoo or Debian.
Now go find yourself a real Linux distro using that criteria, and you'll probably stumble on the correct one
Testing this clever hinting, I decided to utilize every slashdot reader's favorite internet hegemon: Google!
Doing a search on "linux distro -Redhat -Fedora -Suse -Mandrake -Gentoo -Debian" yields an interesting result..
