[sclug] Weapon of choice

[Ian Michell]

Interesting that RH does not support AMD64 out the box, it is a shame 
really. I have always stuck to Redhat because I am confortable with them 
and am satisfied with the quality of their distro, SuSE is good, but I 
personally think RH, (Last used SuSE 8), I am not sure what their 
enterprise line is like though, then again I am a developer so the idea 
of using NTPL in Fedora and RH is a bonus for me as I write a lot of 
multithreading applications ;)

The good thing at least is you can use Linux at work, at the moment I am 
stuck with WinXP Pro, I have only been here a month and I am sick of XP 
already (first time I have used windows full time for more than 2 
years). I installed Visio today and the whole system was nackered 
afterwards, I havce spent most of the day just trying to get everything 
working again.... And I have a deadline to meet too :( I wish I was 
using Linux at work, cuz you only realize how crummy something really is 
when you leave it, I feel like I am on a rocking boat and have no 
control :( and I must say, over the last few years I have taken Linux 
for granted, cuz it just does what I want it to, using windows again 
gives me renewed appreciation ;)

Going to the RHEL? stuff soon (yes I substituted the ? for a 3). It's a shame the vendors don't support Suse as this runs on AMD64 out of the box, however Novell will probably start charging for this soon.
