linux

[comander starlin 6]

i was just wondering what linux you guys prefer working with?

 

i really liked red hat but i was wondering weather there is another on you guys like.

 

as i am going to format and partition my HD and put linux on it soon.

 

i know how to use linux, i did the Cisco course 'Fundamentals of Unix'

 

anh who what Linux OS do you guys prefer? :?:

[Luk3us 63]

I hate linux with a passion.

 

For course work I've used, Debain, Slackware Suse and RedHat. Of the four I prefer Debain. Why is that? Well thats because of those 4, Debain was the only one I could config and install and work properly...

 

So what Linux OS do I prefer? As long as it has X installed I don't really care.

you will hate me when i say Solaris, i found that so eazy to use the commands in, but over all i did enjoy red hat because it was, good to work around in, and Ubuntu was really easy to set up servers.

Desktop Linux, or server linux?

 

Server Enterprise Linux: HP-UX

Server Free Linux: CentOS

Desktop Linux: Red Hat

[comander starlin 6]

do you have a link to both of the server linux?

 

and i admit i do prefer red hat

[Mario 0]

both Tree i dont like either and thats my opiion which im entitled to give

[Tree 0]

Probably should have quoted starlin in my response. You are indeed entitled to your opinion, and I wasn't trying to change your mind :roll: .

 

do you have a link to both of the server linux?

 

and i admit i do prefer red hat

 

CentOS

 

HP-UX is enterprise, meaning it costs money. A lot of money. It's also a bit difficult to learn. Also only runs on Itanium processors. So it's probably not an option for you. But, here's a link to it.

 

Solaris is good only if you run other Sun apps. Otherwise, it's horrible.

Can't play most games naturally on Linux = fail

 

Servers on linux = win

 

regular desktop running linux = fail

Right on the money

which is why windows is better but online games should be hosted on linux servers if they are that good

i gathered it would be expensive because i assume the UX stands for Unix? anyway, i am experience with Unix, i passed a Cisco course in it, "Fundamentals of Unix"

[Tree 0]

Yep. UX does stand for Unix. What're you planning on using this Linux box for? Development server? Desktop? Web server? Just curious.

well that does explain why it is so pricey... any Unix program cost a bomb. anywho... a Development server but that is long term, i am working with a few of my mate with it. we are just starting really but we plan over christmas to work at it alot.

If games were also made for linux, linux would be much better :wink:

 

just out of curiosity, do you happen to work at cisco starlin?

[Tree 0]

School courses I imagine. I got offered a job at Cisco, but I've heard horrible things about working there. Same with Sun.

[comander starlin 6]

I wish nah sorry i don't, and yes Tree it was Uni Courses, fun but dam annoying most of there test's are done online. but the final few exams are physical and that is when you need to know what you do and most people **** that.

Correction... this is why more gaming companies should follow UT's example and port to Linux.

[Mario 0]

but they wont cause linux i think is harder to make games for

[Tree 0]

No, it's because most companies will lose money publishing games for Linux, as most gamers don't have it.

my dad works there, and it's not too bad for him; time consuming, but not too bad :wink:

[Tree 0]

What department?

[F15pilotX 4]

Selling routers and stuff like that

[Tree 0]

Ah, sales. Those are the wimps of the tech world

 

Only kidding, they do have to know their stuff. Just not how to use/troubleshoot/run in a production environment.

[Mario 0]
