RH is the M$ of open source. really. that said, others' sentiments that windoze is "the right choice" for many in the "computing world" is spot on. if you can't figure out how to read documentation and need handholding at $350/hour, m$ is a nice choice. and i'm not even being my usual "bsd biggot" self. linux can be fine, but ignore RH at all costs. please. use something like lunar or gentoo (if you can stand the arrogance of certain members of the gentoo community) so you have a "bsd-like" aka "built from source and optimized as much as i want" OS. lunar was as much as "100% faster" in some testing done with basic open source apps like Apache and MySQL. avoid RH. avoid the noid. -mrh -- From: "Spam Catcher" To: spam-catcher@adept.org Do NOT send email to the address listed above or you will be added to a blacklist!
