Hey all, So, I am setting up a server for a client on a new HP box. My original plan was to use Debian stable, but the HP nic card has special drivers that are only provided by HP in rpm format. I don't want to install RPM on debian (even possible?!). So I thought about going back to the Red Hat 9 - but super old, and disc 2 of my install discs is coastered, so I would have to redownload it. Red Hat Enterprise, which would be cool, is over $300, free is preferred. What would people recommend? Is Fedora Core # considered "Production Stable" now? I really wanted to use a package manager, which I wouldn't be able to use with Red Hat 9 (unless I go to Fedora Legacy, which I could use apt or yum, but the updates are only security fixes, so again, really old.) So, suggestions!? This pay-for-linux thing is getting on my nerves.. (i.e. Red Hat Enterprise blah blah) Chris _______________________________________________ blug-general list [email protected] http://list.beijinglug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/blug-general
