using SuSe 6.3 and 9 using Redhat Mandrake 6.5.
Better not lot the folks at Mandrake Soft read that :) Although it's based on RedHat, it's Mandrake Linux.
I am a bit confused because I needed 'cdrecord' and Redhat didn;t have it on the Box set and SuSe seems to have everything including Gnome and KDE.
As others that aren't as much biased as I am will shure confirm, SuSE Linux will get you (at the very least) the most bang for the buck. For the rest, I'll let the others chime in.
I have a hired gun that wants to change all of 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.
Nonsense! That only shows he doesn't know SuSE Linux. Connectivity to Windows networks depends on SAMBA, which is on our distribution. You may hook up SuSE Linux boxes to Windows machines just as well.
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.
As I have limited experience with CD writers, I'll again let others chime in
here :)
