Re: {bb} Which flavor of Linux?

[Jeanne Case <jdcase@stmarys-ca.edu>]

Suse for sure,

It is easy to install, look at the YAST utility, it is easy to set up 
automatic updates, it is much more reasonably priced then RedHat, 
especially for dual-cpu kernels. The time to live per version seems much 
longer than Redhat in the last few years. It has been a very stable 
product for us. I have had very little trouble getting Bigbrother to run 
on it.
