For a while now I have been debating on this question...

Red Hat enterprise seems to have more admin tools, as opossed to Suse.


This will run either on a T30 P4 with bluetooth wifi and SXGA screen (I worried about the blue tooth and the Wi-Fi) or the T41; which my only cocern is the Wi-Fi.

I have also considered running Virtual PC and implementing both OS's

Any ideas or suggestions?

i would say to stick with SuSE... it is free (2 months after the inital rlease, you can download an ISO), and, AFAIK, it has a much bigger community surrounding it...

just my 2 cents

Where would be a good resource for finding out how to load this on an external drive? I really would like to load suse 9.2 on an external drive for my TP41, but cannot seem to make it work

Suse vs RedHat, my opinion is neither, but if you absolutelly have to stick to one, suse will be much friendlier. As to loading it from external drive might just require loading proper modules to detect your usb drive, I don't really remember redhat/suse installers that much, so can't give you more info.

Got a 100GB 5200RPM hd, so I will be running 3 OS's!!!

We will see how it turns out!! I will run the SuSe and Redhat under 'Virtual Pc"
