Which distro for the enterprise now?

Tisk tisk on you for asking this question. :) In fact, I am not quite
sure why your asking this in the first place -- you already know that
there is no "best" distro. If your staff is trained on RedHat, it might
be worth staying with RedHat.. you have options such as using Fedora,
using Progeny (or others) for updates to Red Hat 7.2-9 (I think $5/mo?),
lower pricing via a Redhat reseller for RHEL, etc..

If you want to move away from RedHat, perhaps Debian is a good choice?
Use Knoppix as the basis for the desktop ... easy to maintain, patch,
update, etc.. Should be free (as in beer) for a long long time.. etc..

Or perhaps skip Linux and go to something like FreeBSD? Overall easy to
maintain/update/administer.. runs the same stuff as Linux (for the most
part) and seems like it will be staying free for a long time as well. Of
course, since it isn't Linux, there would be a learning curve to think
"bsd". And no, it isn't dying.
