RE: Debian, too easy?
I've worked with HPUX, AIX and Solaris. I've delt with Debian, RH ans Suse.
I find that Debian is closest to any of the above UNIXs. If you know
Debian, you can find your way around any UNIX box.
As far as a registry is concerned, UNIX/Linux does not need it. A registry
is the biggest waste of processor bandwidth and disk real-estate, and a
bitch to maintain. Things are handled very nicely with /etc. Anything else
is overkill. -mk
