Re: Linux

The choice depends more on what you want / need to have than what people
think you want / need.

If your corporation requires a support agreement, go either with Red Hat or
with SuSE (Novell).

If possible, have at least one of each of the above for a while -- one or
two years -- and see what is better in your environment.

I am more prone to use SuSE (SLES) as I have OpenSuSE on my laptop for years
now.
