[Techtalk] RHEL/SLES/SLOX

[Gina Lanik]

Hi,

with official support/bug fixes ending for RH9.0 and new projects coming in
at work I'm currently pondering two things, if you have any input on this
it would be greatly appreciated:

First one:

Our linux server farm runs on RedHat exclusively at the moment and we're
considering moving to either Suse Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) or RedHat
Enterprise Linux (RHEL) for the boxen we need certification for (a couple
of Oracle installations and the machines which will participate in the SAN
environment I'm currently building). Pros/Cons WRT either? Suggestions what
to run on the other boxen we don't need certification for? We basically
have everything from backup server to domain controller, file servers, etc.
I personally would love to run Debian on all boxen but alas, no
certification and we don't want to run multiple distros in our environment.

Second one:

We've been looking for groupware server implementations (preferably Open
Source) for quite some time now and stumbled across Suse Linux Open
Exchange server (SLOX for short) a couple of weeks ago. Does anyone here
already have experience with it?

Thanx in advance for your input!

Cheers,

Gina
