there is extensive experience in Tamilnadu - recently 45,000 computers were distributed to govt departments with Suse linux. The electricity board runs on RHEL. However, for govt, the vendor has to be recognised by the govt - afaik both Suse and RHEL are recognised. Usually govt will not install things like debian or ubuntu without a vendor to back them up. If this person really has the authority to do this - and the govt allows him, it would be best to go through either Redhat or Novell. But, as I have already mentioned in this thread, Karnataka government has a clear policy of using only microsoft. -- regards KG http://lawgon.livejournal.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLUG" group.
