First of all, I would like u to visit the site http://www.distrowatch.com where u can get a first hand comparison between various distributions. I am a redhat user and I believe there should not be much problem in switching from one distro to another as they usually ship more or less the same packages with different installation programs. I have heard the installation program of Mandrake is the easiest. > > Any idea as which one has a larger customer base, n which is > more feature > rich. As per my understanding Redhat has the largest customer base but the market size varies from geo to geo. For example, Red Hat has good customer base in US whereas SuSE is the leader in Europe and Turbolinux is more popular in Asia (Japan i should say). I don't have much idea about Mandrake but it is also very popular. > > Apart from this kudos to you guys who have started working on > migration > issues,I'm hopeful of getting some good news in terms of few > successful > migrations in coming weeks. > > > warm regards > Kapil Sharma > H/P 00-6-0125678120 > > > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
