help - RHEL4 or RHEL5 ?

[Tancredi Botto]

Dear experts. I am getting a workstation at work. The choice will be either
rhel4 or rhel5 but I will have sudo all (nice !) and Windows will be on an
external disk.

I am quite content with KDE-3.5.xx and I do not see me switching to KDE-4 for
several more months. Certainly I need up-to-date OO, FFox and PIM software,
and in addition, I have to think of whatever will make survival in an msoft
exchange-server world easier. It is not that I can't compile, it's that I
rather not.. of course. So, I have two general questions:

_ Which RHEL version would you recommend in terms of desktop support ?

By looking at your repo's I wondered if RHEL5 packages are just once in a
lifetime kind of events, or if they are on same level as RHEL4.


_ What apt list, servers do you recommend ? Where could I get this info ?


Many thanks, I appreciate your help, and of course, the heroic efforts at
kde-redhat.

RHEL 5, hands down.
Just make sure you get the "Workstation" version. (Or, if you don't
require support - CentOS5.)
