Re: Redhat 6.1

["Izaak Bozof (INS)" <izaak bozof ins com>]

TurboLinux and Stampede are both allegedly to have an alpha release. I have 
heard that API was working with both of them (in addition to RH and Suse 
and Debian).

Personally, RedHat and SuSE both have excellent points.  SuSE's main 
weakness in my experience is the less-than-spectacular English translations 
of their manual, but otherwise their alpha dist is excellent.

Personally, I find the RH installation to be clunky and outdated.  However, 
everyone knows that you really only need to do one good install on a 
machine.  The SuSE autodetect procedure on install is really nice.

Also, currently the SuSE-axp list is a little more 
developer-active.  Roedolph Oertigal (sp?) is also very active.  That's 
just currently though.

Truly, it comes down to who will expend more effort on their 
distribution.  From the current status of RH and Suse, I'd say they are 
about equal.

cheers!
