tao Linux

You may also want to look at CentOS, its another popular rebuild of rh es.

I've used it internally for a few things and it appears to be a good
project.

Michele,

Could you possibly elaborate on why you went to something other than a RH
OS. This part really is the gut of the situation.

Most of my servers are RH 7.3, which seems really stable. If I am to trust
our future to the Open Source community, why shouldn't I trust them to keep
RH 7.3, or any other RH version, up to date and safe? I do realize that old
is not always best, but can you truthfully use this example to justify
things like RH 8.0 versus RH 7.3?

BTW, WhiteBox, as I recall, had some issues with their installation package
(was there even an X interface?) How would you rate the installation
process? A friend of mine at one of the US government laboratories here has
highly recommended WB, but they rolled their own installation scripts for
convenience., tailoring it more to their needs. They have more hands there
than we do here, though.

Thank you very much for your time and thoughts.
