I agree here. You should never put a server into production straight out of the box. Each distro has security holes that need to be closed. Depending on your confidence in linux, you might want to purchase RedHat and get some free tech support for the first 30 days or so (not sure on the time, but it is at least that long). Plus, RedHat supports more commercial software than the other distros (officially. Unofficially, I am sure you can get most anything to work under a different distro). > ---- > Actually, knowing that Dell, IBM and others are > shipping Servers with RedHat > pre-loaded, it's apparent that not everyone feels > the way that you do about > RedHat.
