In the Bind 9 Administrator Reference Manual found at: http://www.nominum.com/resources/documentation/ it is state that "ISC BIND 9 compiles and runs on the following operating systems: . . . R??H?? Linux."
Why? Why? Why?!!!!!
This type of de facto endorsement seems to prejudice the American market toward one particular distribution. As far as I know Bind 9 runs just as well on SuSE Linux. I've raised this issue before, but I really don't know how to address it in an effective way. I'm sure mail bombing the authors with nasty complaints will not do the trick. I do find it frustrating that so many companies release products with statements such as that referenced above.
Anybody else?
The world has been entwined in this MS mentality for a LONG time. It will take TIME for it to go away. I'm fighting a similar battle at work. They want me to use R.H. for a project saying it's the standard. I'll win that battle but it is frustrating. Keep the faith. -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh@cfl.rr.com
