RE: [PLUG] Which distro for non-intel machines
|
i was not specifically asking about any distro -- redhat would have been an
option, if they still supported these platforms.
What I think I will do is try one with debian and one with netbsd and see
how they work. Whichever one is liked better, will be put on the rest of
them (the faculty loves linux for the non-unix OS, but, it doesn't matter
too much to me). We have an old install on the Alpha that I really want to
get upgraded (if only so the packages aren't so old), but, it is working for
now, and will be the last one updated.
thanks

Did I miss something? Was Bradley specifically asking about Red Hat?
It sure didn't sound that way to me...
