Re: Windows of Linux

Not to start a "which is the best distro" discussion, but you should 
really make the choice based on the importance of the system. I'd 
personally choose a reputable and respectable organization which can 
provide you service and support of the distro you install. If it's more 
of a personal choice, well hell go with whatever you see fit, but as 
everyone else says, it's all in the configuration. That's where a 
supportive vendor makes the difference.. they can assist you with 
ensuring it's done right. Cheers.
