From: ahahma@utu.fi (Arno Hahma) Subject: Updating ISC to Linux or not? Date: Wed, 1 Sep 1993 13:22:33 GMT
I am currently running ISC 3.0.1 on nitro.pp.utu.fi and now I got an
upgrade offer to Solaris 2.x. However, I have been thinking not to go
on with either but move to Linux instead. Is it worth the trouble - if
any? Are there any specific caveats that should be considered (in
either of the systems)? At least the Linux sure seems promising
considering what other people and the FAQ tell about it.
There is one open question about Linux, that I know of. I have a bit
uncommon components in my system, specifically, I am using a Mylex LNE
390 EISA 32-bit ethernet board. I looked through the FAQ and the
compatibility list of Linux, but found no entries about the Mylex
ethernet boards. Are there any chances that Linux would support the
LNE390? If Linux does support it, I will seriously consider Linux and
probably at least try it before going with the Solaris.
