Redhat has committed itself to Open source and continues to be so. Disclaimer: I have never had ay employment opportunity at Redhat. I am speaking from my experience. I had attended to three calls from Novell Netware 3.12 to Netware 4.1 in last week alone as a freeelancer. FYKI. Novell has been taken over by another company recently (I don't remember the name). The point is, a production environment runs long after its deployment. I know of clipper and foxpro production systems running to date (and fate) to this day. If this is ignored, peril of support (paid or unpaid) remains a PIA. Ubuntu LTS v/s Redhat = 5 v/s 7 (now 10) years. Do your maths and decide. Above IMHO, of course. -- Regards, Rajagopal _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
