In 1997 I bought a 6 CD set from Info Magic. RedHat was on disk one. I
installed it because it was on disk one... I had a machine running Suse
for a while because of ISDN support. I have installed various other
distribs in a VMware machine to test them.
There is nothing very wrong with RedHat. For a server it needs to be
hardened a little, but that is no big deal.
On the Power tools disk in that set there was Postgresql. Having read
the then non free licence of mySql I installed Postgresql.
Yes things really are that simple out here in user land.
