NYCPHP Meetup

[David Mintz]

I too am wringing my hands over what to do post-RH9. I wonder:  wouldn't
it be possible to stay with RH9 indefinitely and keep it up to date using
one of those tools other than up2date?

Meanwhile I've also looked at some Fedora reviews. Most have been
positive. That would seem the most logical successor. But I am also
thinking about giving Mandrake another shot -- I tried 9.x but it had
just a few too many annoyances that I wasn't able to work out.

Has anyone had experience with Gentoo? It seems intriguing, and they
certainly seem to think highly of themselves (-: http://www.gentoo.org/

Alas, you never know how it's gonna work out on your machine until you try
it. Too bad we don't have a couple weeks to spend just playing with
distros.

I'd stay away from it personally; some others on this list could attest,
too.

Stick with Fedora/Redhat; solid distro.  Or, go with FreeBSD, which is
what gentoo wants to be.
