I have been using linux since 94, I started with slackware. I recently, in the past two years, started using Redhat. Why would I do such an evil thing as switch to a "lamer" version of linux.
Have you ever considered that when managing large numbers of servers (50+) that taking the time to run make on all of them is just not cost effective? RPM has been a huge time saver for software updates that would have required hours of tedious work before.
Redhat does a good job of making a fast, stable operating system for the corperate world
I just upgraded my test system here at my office (aka my personal machine) from redhat 7.0 to redhat 7.1. Everything went well except I had one problem, after the upgrade I could no longer recieve incoming mail. If I tried to telnet to port 25 i would get rejected. I fixed this issue by doing a force rpm downgrade to the previous version of sendmail... Is anyone else having this issue or is my machine possesed?
They are trying to impress compaq
