No matter what Linux distribution or Open Source-based OS you use, be it Ubuntu, openSUSE, Fedora, Debian, OpenSolaris, RHEL/CentOS, The BSDs, Mac OS X, or any myriad of others, absolutely none of this would be possible without the determined and often thankless work of thousands upon thousands of programmers.

InformIT: "Have you tried the major Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora/RHEL, and OpenSUSE/SLED?

Were they not quite right for your needs? The major distros are not the only game in town. Find out the good, the bad, and the ugly about three of the best-known alternatives to the "big" user distros."

The third way allows organizations to use fully tested and guaranteed software that Canonical stands behind, without having to pay a subscription, George says.

“We allow customers to select and pay for exactly the options they want. With RHEL or SLES you effectively have to pay for security updates, but we say that you only have to pay for support

Here you have it folks, the official world tally of the absolute best linux distributions ever... well at least the most popular!

An anonymous reader sends along a PCWorld recap of a new study by the 451 Group, which claims that business use of 'community' Linux distributions is on the rise — distros like Ubuntu, CentOS, and Debian, as opposed to "corporate" packages like RHEL and Suse.

The trend is most evident in Europe. The article points out examples in Sweden and Germany, and cites growing in-house expertise with Linux as one factor helping enterprises get comfortable choosing Linux distros without commercial support.

Computerworld: " So that is where we came up with RHEL, and frankly I think that was really the major driver in making open source a viable alternative in the commercial market."

Here's the second half of Red Hat Magazine's look at features to be found in future RHEL releases.

"One of the most requested features since the release of Enterprise Linux 5 is encrypted device support. We support encrypted devices via a technology called LUKS.

LUKS, implemented on top of the existing device-mapper cryptography code, standardizes the partition header for the automatic detection of encrypted devices.

It also allows for multiple passphrases to decrypt the device.

By incrementally incorporating Red Hat Enterprise Linux and service-oriented architecture into its IT framework, Dun & Bradstreet expects to save millions in IT costs.

The Register: "It plans to extend the initial 'intensive enablement' release phase of both RHEL versions 4 and 5 from three years of earnest support to an even four years..."
