I'm new on this group and I've used Suse 6.3 for a couple of months now and I like it. It seems better than Redhat 6.1. I'm in charge of 3 installations using SuSe 6.3 and 9 using Redhat Mandrake 6.5.
SuSE is worlds ahead of Redhat/mandrake 6.5.
I've been told by some individuals that Redhat is the standard and to stick with it because they have more updates and etc. I am a bit confused because
There is no real standard. Redhat makes the most noise so they are the ones that are known about. Mandrake took redhat and made it usable. That says a lot. I've never had a good RH install. I've gotten it to run, but nothing like SuSE.
I needed 'cdrecord' and Redhat didn;t have it on the Box set and SuSe seems to have everything including Gnome and KDE. I have a hired gun that wants to change all if my installs to Redhat Original 6.1 because he states that he can hook up a LAN between the windows box to the Linux box with Redhat and Not SuSE.
Your hired gun doesn't know much about linux. Samba as Phillip says is required by any linux to connect to a winxx system. There isn't no discussion about it, it is a fact, and you should let the hired gun know that he is wrong.
In most of these places where Linux is in use they like it but they like but they use windows too so I was trying to get some ideas about how they can have both. I was told if I get a LAN connected these businesses could do their Digital Camera and Scanners stuff in Windows and I could copy and store the files in Windows and cp them over If I ever need them.
Why go through all that trouble. After you get samba setup, they can store all their files on the linux machine. Then you would have the access you need. And if you need to manipulate any of the images, use the gimp.. Great programs for editing pix and stuff.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
If I had the chance, I'd install Suse on all the machines that have RH on them. ;-)) that would sure make things interesting for your 'hired gun'
Thanks ahead,
Dave Willcox :-)
PS. Is it very hard to install and compile a recent downloaded version of 'cdrecord' to Linux? This is one of the reasons this guy wants to change things. He claims he knows how to do this and it's worth a lot.
