An annual fee of $379 per machine to run Linux ???
Try Gentoo Linux (http://www.gentoo.org). It comes at the cost of
downloading two ISOs and roasting them onto a CD-R. After that you
install and upgrade packages whenever you feel like it over the
Internet.
Mind you, the install is done at the command line prompt. Gentoo
doesn't come with a fancy graphical installer, but it works like a
chime for me.
After making the previous post I did many people probably won't give
this one much credibility... but I totally agree with this post for
gentoo linux. It's PHENOMINALY stable and customizable.... but if you
have many (more than 10 or so) server to set up at any one time I'd
probably steer towards a different distro as well. I'm using Gentoo on
my desktop right now and the great thing about it is that I can do all
my updates from the command line... much like redhat update, I don't
have to pay for them... AND I can customize the compilation of the
program however I want all from the command line... lets see you do that
from a redhat up2date agent . Seriously though, my company just
switched COMPLETELY from microsoft to linux and we've gone through just
about every distro and we've had to weigh the options very heavily.
We're running Lotus Domino on our RH server right now and it doesn't
perform nearly as well as our slackware boxes. Neither are running a
graphical interface and both only have running what they need... just
something about it. Anyhow, I hope somebody finds some help from all
this. Brandon
