Hi everydoby, I have been Redhat Linux fan since version 6.
When i read the news about Red Hat is not going
to release another version (i.e. Red Hat 9.1 or 10),
I felt dissapointed at first, but then I realize that
this is the only way of this company to survive. I am evaluating moving from Red Hat 9 to other distributions,
and almost all my linux-friends advice me to choose Debian or Gentoo (Of course, they have only used these distributions).
I have used all three.
Fedora/RedHat - quick install, lots of good default decisions made. Good
device detection and configuration for most things. Can take some
configuration to get the servers working together......a fair bit of
reading is required to set up t a LAMP server (compared to Debian).
Minimum install, select specific packages apache (or httpd as they call it now), php, php-mysql, mysql and mysql-server and you are done.. start apache and mysql and you are ready to rock.. :)
Bottom line.....if you aren't an experienced Linux user, don'tExcellent advice..If unsure, test, test and test again just to make sure.. At the end of the day everyone must choose the distro that suits them for their specific needs..
experiment in a WORK environment with Debian or Gentoo. Go home...play
with them....become comfortable with the way they do things and what
they need......THEN use them at work.
