Urghh. Okay. I just spent about 2 weeks prepping 32 servers in a Quest Datacenter with Red Hat AS 2.1 and 3.0. Holy crap do I hate Red Hat even more so then I did before.
Never in my life have I had to reboot (yes thats right, I said reboot. As in a complete OS restart...) linux so much. Every little damn adjustment I made wouldnt take effect with a simple restart of the dependant services. Nope, not at all. Only a hot restart would do it.
Can someone tell me when Red Hat got to be so much like Windows used to be? The two OS's seem to be flipping features. You reboot Windows less now these days but Red Hat Linux more...hmmmm...
Ironically enough, I bet Lindows ...ahem... I mean Linspire, excuse me, probably needs to be rebooted less than Red Hat.
Of course a lot more things occured with RH AS(s) which has swayed me to the anti-RH side. Ive not used Fedora, but this whole experience doesnt make we want to really.
SuSE all the way for me. That or gimme a good BSD like Open, Free or Net.
