distro 1: purpose 1
distro 2: purpose 2
[...]
Disto in the sense of Unix/Linux flavour.
At Work:
--------
* RedHat Enterprise Linux (versions 2.1 & 3.0): installed on all Oracle
Linux systems
* RedHat 7.3: installed on non database servers
* Slackware 9.1: installed on non database servers (reasons: security,
minimalist approach, end of consumer RedHat)
* AIX (versions 4.3.3, 5.1, 5.2): on bigger (and expensive) systems and
high availability systems
At Home:
--------
* Slackware 9.1: on my main PC
* Yellow Dog 3.0.1: RedHat/Fedora based distro for Apple computers:
installed on my iBook (Slackware doens't run on Apple if you overlook
Slackintosh)
* MacOS X: nice BSD based OS with a nice object oriented framework
derived from NextStep (source compatible with GNUstep!!!). Also runs
apps like Gimp, etc. if you install X
* RedHat 9.0: installed on my girlfriend's PC, mainly because of the
same look of Gnome & KDE apps (Bluecurve) und the similarity with Yellow
Dog I have on the laptop
* NetBSD 1.6: installed on my SparcClassic serving as a firewall
* Solaris 8: installed on my SparcStation 5 to have a machine to learn
and hack with Solaris (wonderful OS in his own right)
Also installed on my main PC on other partitions: OpenBSD 3.5, Solaris 8
x86, FreeBSD
