Hi,
We are trying make decisions around Linux. We have the following questions:
- Which distro is best for software development Redhat or SUSE ( We only
have these alternatives)?
From my experience doing scientific software and support, I'd say there isnot much difference. Every major distro has all the tools you'd need
available. Some of them may not come pre-installed, but that's not a big
deal in the long run.
- Shall we use the desktop or server version. What is the main difference?
Yes. For software development, IMHO - you'd be better off with a desktop -
select 'workstation' profile or similar if it's available.
- What is the main reason to use the 64-bit version over the 32-bit?
Cause it's there? I really can't see any major advantage for most folks.
- In solaris there is something called jumpstart ( when upgrading och
reinstalling the os). Is there something similair for Linux?
I'm glad to know there is something called jupstart. Now, what does it do
- and what of that functionality do you want/need?
All advice is greatly appreciated.
cheers,
