Re: Debian for enterprise
Thank you, everyone! You have given me enough ammo to actually turn
some guru heads! They like both FAI and systemimager. They are
impressed with the speed of the security releases. My last hurdle is
finding out which applications have been ported (by our programmers)
over to RH, and seeing if they will run on Debian.
Jesse, your crystal ball is quite accurate. We are using 7.3 (we like
to avoid the "*.0" releases from RH), and were preparing to upgrade when
we heard the news. I'm not sure of what they were planning on doing
between January and April, but the total cost of licensing is well
outside our budget- $15,000 for the advanced server alone.
They have an anti-GUI philosophy (something about a waste of
resources?), which was one of the reasons they asked about Debian. In
fact, the ONLY reason for using RH from the start was the applications
that the programmers needed.
It's now down to SuSE and Debian...
