Re: How similar is commercial Linux?

Oh, I should add that you probably won't have any trouble using Red Hat Advanced Server if you are already familiar with original Red Hat . The only thing that is different as far as I know is the way it loads the firewall. (I can give you more details on that if you'd like.)

As far as which programs it uses... Well, a year ago, AS was using approximately the same versions as RH 7.3. So it was kind of a step backwards from RH 9. But theydid that for stability reasons. RH AS is at about the same version on most things as debian stable (woody).

For instance, a few months ago, I installed emacspeak on my RH AS box at work and my debian box at home. up2date --install emacspeak installed 17.0 and so did apt-get install emacspeak.

Hi all,

When our site discontinued its 35+ year use of IBM mainframe-based software for its administrative tasks, it switched to Solaris. At the time, brltty ran only on Linux, and since Sun-Linux docs said it would be patterned after Red Hat 7, I installed Red Hat on my home and work computers.

Now we're starting to investigate Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and since I'm literally the only one around here who uses Linux of any sort they're asking me a lot of questions.

How portable is my experience with Red Hat versions from 8 to Fedora 2 (soon to include Fedora 3 which is slated for release ca. November 1)? Is Enterprise Linux Desktop about comparable to Fedora, 4 CDs etc? Does anybody know how big Enterprise Linux AS is and how the file layouts and included products compare?

Thanks much for any info,
