Having worked with RHEL4 and Solaris 10, and AIX 4.3, and Windows server 2k,2k3,nt) youll have to tell me what stunk so bad about RHEL.
I replaced out windows based IVR with a RHEL4 box running Asterisk and the reliability improved enough that I had former Linux bashers asking if I could port our voicemail system (also on windows to it).
Just trying to install anything is ultra-stupid. I tried to install one of those programs where you only have to do 50,000 steps to save 5000 steps but it was another 100,000 steps to install.
why don’t they include all the dependencies with the package? And why is the mplayer plugin so stupid to try to install?
Solaris has always been pretty stupid and sun has the worst customer service. They assume the customer is a criminal.
Aix has always worked pretty well and IBM has stellar customer service but I still wouldn’t install aix on anything I actually owned ‘cause I like to use the software, I don’t like to spend all my time trying to d/l stupid, idiot, mind numbing, evil dependancies.
The Atari 800XL is still the best computer I ever owned. Everything just worked. The comodor 64 was okay but it ate one of my games once when I tried to make a backup. Remember Boulder Dash? That was a great game. Good times. Not stupid times, like linux gives.
