FC5 or RHEL4 can also be used in a data center:)
And if I can run it on Macs then how do I do vertical scaling of my system?
What about Fault Tolerance and Availability, what are commercial network management applications like Unicenter or Tivoli available for enterprise deployment of Macs. Are there any reliable management softwares there for Macs that guarntee me 24*7 operations with easy to use backups and restoration of whole deployment?
May be I am wrong but Macs are not meant for enterprise scenario.
Correct me whereever I wrong.
Hey that sounds great.
However one more thing I need to know "Is It FREE".
Also can we run Data Center of a REAL organization on Macs?
I know we can do it on Solaris.
Oh that is news!!!
I have two machines at home one is running Ubuntu as my primary desktop and another running FC5 as my dev enviornment(JBoss,PostgreSQL, SJSES8.0 and other stuff with gcvs also).
Now my dear friend I have never faced any difficulty in either video card or sound card or any other stuff. to be frank I dont even remember my vidoe card details as BOTH distros were installed very easily and without any problems.
On FC5 the application looks a bit wider and thicker however on Ubuntu the looks are killer.
And yes I dont own a Mac as it is of no use to me, I am an enterprise architect:)
By the way my wife who has a masters in biology is currently using Ubuntu, need I say more about user friendlyness.
Very True.
Infact I dont understand this flame war by Mac Fanatics.
By the Way I am a Linux User and my home box runs ONLY linux. Aty work I am forced to use Windows but still that works.
If you talk about OS as OS only and then Application as Application only then my first preference is Linux(FC5/Ubuntu) or Windows.
Mac looks beautiful, amaziing, splendid but doesn't help in paying bills.
Companies uses Windows or Solaris or Linux or any other *NIX or Mainframes or OS/2 to run the world's IT but never a Mac.
Operating System: Ununtu/FC5/FC4/SuSE Desktop GUI : KDE/Gnome Browser : Firefox Mail Client: Thunderbird Productivity Suite: Open Office 2.0 Project Management: Planner Finance Application: GNU Cash Application Server: JBoss/Geronimo RDBMS: PostgreSQL/MySQL/DB2 Express Community Edition Dev Tools: Sun Java Studio Enterprise Edition for Java/KDevelop for C++ or Simple plain old GCC/Eclipse for both N Number of other pretty useful tools/utilities just check Ubuntu or FC5.
I have Linux(FC4 Plus KDE) box at home, no windows nothing from M$. I taught my father to use that Linux box for day to day work in one week.
He is perfectly happy with it and never had any problem with either Open Office or any other app.
I think the reason people give examples of average joe is that they themselves started learning about PC using Windows. If somebody starts with Linux then they are comfortable with all the stuff Linux comes with.
On a side note my father started using GNU Cash recently:)
I installed OO2.0 on my FC4 box and then at work on Windows.
It is very easy to install on both Linux and Windows.
The only difference is that it looks better on windows.Well looks are secondary, the most important thing is IT IS FREE AND IT WORKS MAN.

This is the very very rational reply I got in recent months. Be on my friends list :)

Simple Solution That I suggest
Operating System: Ununtu/FC5/FC4/SuSE
Desktop GUI : KDE/Gnome
Browser : Firefox
Mail Client: Thunderbird
Productivity Suite: Open Office 2.0
Project Management: Planner
Finance Application: GNU Cash
Application Server: JBoss/Geronimo
RDBMS: PostgreSQL/MySQL/DB2 Express Community Edition
Dev Tools: Sun Java Studio Enterprise Edition for Java/KDevelop for C++ or Simple plain old GCC/Eclipse for both
N Number of other pretty useful tools/utilities just check Ubuntu or FC5.
Completely agree with you.
