I'm not excited about converting to the RH Enterprise distribution and so am beginning to shop around for a different, a possibly better, distribution--something stable, well integrated, complete, and with a rational release cycle, stable SMP support, and support for AMD Athlon and AMD-64 processors. There are a number of candidate--Suse, Mandrake, Debian, etc.

Anyone care to document their experiences, good and bad?

I have nothing but good stuff to say about Gentoo. It's a bit different from Red Hat... the package manager actually works, for starters. :-) More importantly, the software release cycles are usually both timely and sane. Community support is generally knowledgeable and friendly. Debian makes a great choice too, but I find that Gentoo's community is just a bit more focused and helpful. $.02, Dylan _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
