In the media today about HP positioning itself with Linux as a complete solution, which is great, but that HP has lost out to IBM in signing up RedHat as its distributor.
So, which other flavour of RedHat will it be ? anybody know ? Just after having spent months getting to grips with RedHat and now have to learn another flavour, great.
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionI know how you feel about different versions of Linux ....
However, I am going to root for Linux-Mandrake! Since I've switched from the slow to market RedHat to the advanced and updated Linux-Mandrake, my servers appears to be significantly faster.
Not to mention that all of my customers seem to appreciate the Windowed environment. I personally have found KDE extremely easy to use and configure!
I'm hoping that since HP supports KDE that they will look to Linux-Mandrake .... they are a sleeper in the industry!
Have a Great Day!

Re: HP lose RedHat to IBM
One more thing, Perhaps IBM Should get RedHat!
Did you know that Mandrake leads RedHat in distributions????
Got this info from www.linux-mandrake.com, just so that you know that I've not put a slant on the info at all!
May 22, 2001 - New US Linux market figures - LinuxGram has released the retail market shares for the USA during the first 2001 Quarter (Source: LinuxGram Newsletter/PC Data).
Guess who is first?
Mandrake - 33.8%
Redhat - 30.7%
Suse - 23.8%
FreeBSD - 5.6%
Caldera - 2.5%
Corel - 2.3%
Turbolinux - 1.2%
Now that's what I'm talking about!!!
Have a Great Day!

Re: HP lose RedHat to IBM
Hi Albert,
thanks for the info. Funny, Mandrake is now No. 1 in the US and SusE linux is No. 1 in Europe.
I shall get Mandrake installed and see what its like. SusE also uses KDE and yes it looks great. Use it all the time on my PC at home.
Lets keep our eyes posted and see who HP eventually signup.
Cheers,
Stefan

Re: HP lose RedHat to IBM
I know that more and more I install Linux in places that people never invisioned it going Before! It certainly is much more reliable than any Windoze OS and the stability is there so that the only need to reboot, is generally when New Hardware needs to be installed.
Try that using the New Technology (NT) or some other 2000 OS!
Linux, it's not just for fun anymore!

Re: HP lose RedHat to IBM
I have run Mandrake on some *really* cheap hardware (Celery 500 / 256 megs of RAM) and had it running so hard that the motherboard IRQ handler couldn't take the load and would cause a kernel panic occasionally. (verified by myself, and a few other computer / hardware buffs), but for the most part it ran like a champ, serving a peak of 12 megs of web traffic. This a great OS and HP would be wise to look into it IMHO.

Re: HP lose RedHat to IBM
I've just tested Suze 7.1 and it's real nice.
PS: HP also turned Linus down on a job offer.
