Right now I'm trying to choose between Red Hat and Suse. One of my friends (who is a Red Hat fan) told me that he didn't like SUSE because we were a bit dependant on their configuration tools (I think he mentioned YAST).
Every distro has their own configuration tools. Red Hat has a terrible mix of undocumented, not-well-thought-out stuff: Anaconda, up2date, *cfg, etc. There appears to be no rhyme or reason to it all, codewise or userwise (I've been through all that code and I still sometimes have nightmares. I can also tell you of some *very* disturbing features of up2date I discovered...). YaST2 is amazing in comparison. It's very well documented at the code level, and everything is integrated nicely in one place. However, I recommend you try both to get a feel for the various features. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+6IJs+FOexA3koIgRAhMFAKCJ6RKRup5gbmiAmFywnogmJm15DACcCjlK PptUShhXvEoQEa7JHSVg288= =TbYV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
