Yup. Probably cause they have been working on it longer (before Bill "acquired" it). > > mandrake isn't doing all that well in europe, either -- suse is doing > much better there, because despite its many obvious shortcomings, it > has a caldera-like desire to achieve and maintain stability. mandrake > is in many ways little more than a broken red hat. It's true. I have yet to see Mandrake running seriously in a server room... it's invariably RedHat, Debian, sometimes Slackware or (very rarely) Caldera. I understand that SuSE is common in Europe and 7.2 and 7.3 Pro are getting rave reviews as a server load, but for all intents and purposes, SuSE just doesn't exist in the North American corporate market. <FWIW, I am running SuSE 7.2 Pro> I am starting to see more and more OpenBSD which points to greater security awareness and an emphasis on locking down networked systems.... sadly, something that we are currently missing - there is no real "security-oriented" Linux distro. -- burns _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
