I'm not running Red Hat so I can't double check up on their FHS compliance. But I've noticed 2 oddities with SuSE. Tell me if I'm misunderstanding the FHS (I've got FHS 2.0, /usr/doc/FHS/)... - there's no /etc/X11 (p. 10). This is supposed to contain host-specific X11 config files. As far as I can tell, on SuSE these are in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. - /sbin/init.d? (p. 13) /sbin is supposed to contain only system administration binaries. Personally, I would expect init.d to be found among the host-specific files in /etc. - Scott S.Toms wrote:

I would stick with SuSe for many reasons despite RedHat been the standard. Standard doesn't mean better, if you are not convinced have a look at Windoze.

I really agree with you , maybe redhat it's the standard but from my experience isn't the best. The truth is that RH 5.2 has lost appeal to me and I rather use RH 5.1 or some derivation of it than the last 5.2. And as you say Standard doesn't mean better, I think it does mean, old, less able, minimun and this is to my taste incompatable with best or high performance.

When did RH become the standard? From what I've seen they deviated from the file structure standards (am I wrong here?) I think the reason they are being thought of as the standard is only because they seem to be more in the lime-light than the other distro's here in America because of the various companies putting money into RH and the various press stories about them always popping up. -- Ec|ipse on EFnet - tomas@primenet.com - <A HREF="http://www.primenet.com/~tomas"><A HREF="http://www.primenet.com/~tomas</A">http://www.primenet.com/~tomas</A</A>> Ec|ipse@|Watcher| - botnet webpage down until further notice Slackware Linux v3.6 - Kernels 2.0.35/2.1.131 - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
