You have got a better answer and I am not at all experienced in either of these. Any commercial influence tend to gravitate towards marketing/sales pitch and other nonsense and not reflect reality to the taste of technical people like you and me. Debian continues to interest me and it is as free as perhaps Linux can ever get. Now I believe Novell Suse Linux is based on Debian and Redhat tried to deviate from UNIX as much as they can. But I have no practical experience. When I was in Novell they had no clue about Linux at all. ;) Companies tend to lose vision and focus with technology even if it is IBM and their influence on Linux. Commercial objectives somehow dilute technical excellence and marketing and sales compulsions complicate things further. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech http://gayatri-hitech.com gir...@gayatri-hitech.com _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
