At work they have ported some server apps to Linux, and they want to purchase an Entrprise Linux distro and support. Apparently we have spoken with IBM as a potential reseller. Choices right now are between Red Hat AS/ES Suse United Linux (hmm, this includes Suse and who's left, TurboLinux?) It's been a while since I tried Suse or Red Hat (happily using Gentoo for the last year or so), so I really just know that I much prefer the Suse desktop. As a server os, I don't really know their respective strengths and weaknesses. It would be nice if the system we choose supports gcc 3.x, but I would guess all distros do by now? Oh yeah, we will be running Oracle 9i (possibly DB2 later). Browsing their repective sites looking for a list of installed packages, I got lost in a sea of pdf whitepapers. I guess that's how you market to this audience... So, any reccomendations?
