i would ask him to show me the differences between ubuntu and RH or SUSE.
it's almost the same kernel and almost the same software.
the only thing is that there are other people working on maintaining the
release packages and other stuff.
i must say that john just kicked everything from your client words!!
i had an thing with a friend at work about comparing gentoo and ubuntu
on performance and scalability,
if you want to take a system that works period you use ubuntu.
if you want to start from almost scratch you will use gentoo.
but just remember that every time you need to install new software or
just update something you will need to recompile many things.
and one of that major things about OS is that you can use and maintain
it almost instantly.
well my opinion

Hi Everybody,
My company provides a Virtual Appliance based on Ubuntu JeOS.
1. Unfortunately, I am challenged by one of our customers who asks :
“Why did you build your appliance on Ubuntu, as my vision is that
Ubuntu is considered on the market place more as a student/homePC OS
than an enterprise-OS as RedHat ?”.
I want to convince him that we have objectively done the good choice.
So, do you have such a white paper, that could lists :
- Key differentiators of Ubuntu JeOS ?
- VMware recommendation ?
- List of Enterprise-grade appliances built over Ubunto JeOS ?
Thanks in advance,
Regards from Paris, France.
