[Asterisk-Users] Advice on OS Choice

[Alex Barnes]

Thanks everyone for the replies.

RH 9 Availability:
	According to the RedHat site >>> http://www.redhat.com/software/rhelorfedora/ RedHat 9 is no longer available.  If you say you can still download it from RH that's great, can I assume this means it is totally free to use / install on servers you wish to sell!?!?!


Customer Installs:
	How many versions of Linux do you suggest I become an expert in before you think it would be ok for me to install one specific version on a server at a customer site? 
I think you misunderstand what I'm asking.
I'm not saying I don't want to install with SLES 8 or RH9 because I don't know them (I have about 3/4 years industry experience using RH and more recently SLES8 but that is all, well apart from (windoze XX, Solaris, Tru64 and a little AIX) am just saying I am no newbie to IT), I was mearly asking for advice as it was my understanding that RH9 wasn't possible (I have been corrected) and was hoping to save some £££'s by moving away from SLES 8.  But I am certainly not adversed to familarising myself with a new Linux distro if it comes highly recommended by the good people on the mailing list.
I also did read the list of Operating Systems and there comments on thw Wiki before I sent my email but the Wiki didn't include and comparisons between the OS's hence not entirely useful for my questions.


Silly long sig:
	Sorry this is added by the mail server automatically.  I have complained to the sysadmin but what can I do.  (Pls feel free to skip the inevitable sig that gets attached to this email :-P )


Thanks again

Alex

P.S. 
I would certainly think long and hard before I deployed a phone system in a hospital (for example), however everyone has to start somewhere.

Dear Friends of Ubiquity Software: 
 
As you may have noticed, Ubiquity Software began using the web domain ubiquity.com earlier this year in addition to the previously established ubiquity.net for our website and email communications to you.  However, since that time, a dispute has emerged with respect to actual ownership of the ubiquity.com domain.
 
As an international software company founded over decade ago, you can always reach Ubiquity Software under the website www.ubiquity.net <http://www.ubiquity.net/>  and via email at @ubiquity.net.  However, we have also chosen to expand our domain to the more specific www.ubiquitysoftware.com <http://www.ubiquitysoftware.com/>  for web and @ubiquitysoftware.com for email communications.
 
Please use either the historical ubiquity.net or begin to use the new ubiquitysoftware.com domain for all email communications to Ubiquity employees from now on. 
 
Thank you.
 
Regards,
 
Ubiquity Software
