Monte, I have found your comparison excellent, as I have just come from SuSE, and have been there quite awhile, though various upgrades. I have found several RPMs built for RH to work quite nicely in SuSE without any problems. One of the biggest differences that I see, is the absolutely astounding documentation supplied by SuSE, as they include several books with the distros, covering just about everything, They even have a manual for networking. I must admit, I am getting addicted to the RHN though. <g> I find RH somewhat "smoother" for a lack of a better term, and gives me faster disk I/O. -- Best regards, Gary _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
