RE: [MLUG] Updating Red Hat Kernel

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Maybe and maybe not. Most techs have heard of Debian and in the end techs
have a lot more power than they generally exercise openly. Big enterprise
companies might prefer having someone to blame and will get RedHat for
that reason but there are a lot of small and midsize companies that are
probably less interested in who to blame and just want things to run
well. My main reason for using RedHat is that I'm more familiar with it's
internals than Debian and have yet to have any major reliability issues. I
think both are great dists and would choose either one, or a mix, for
servers. I think getting a stable version of either running is fairly easy
for anyone with a decent background in Linux.
