References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: The best person to answer your question would be Jason Haas at LinuxPPC, Inc. He'd be able to give you both an honest answer and a politically correct one. :) Just my 2 cents, but I don't think you will have any problems integrating LinuxPPC in a Redhat environment (I did it at home.. in fact, it's the reverse. I introduced a Redhat box into a LinuxPPC environment shortly after I got my RHCE). LinuxPPC is very close to RedHat 6.1. Sure, there are some minor differences, but those are mostly related to dealing directly with the architecture differences. Java is a touchy subject.. so far, with the Blackdown port, things seem rather stable and reliable. However I am not the person to even put my 2 cents in on this one.. :) -Rich Info wrote: > I need to buy a workstation for Linux development (C++,JAVA,PERL,etc) > and would like to buy a Mac instead of Wintel. > > -Is LinuxPPC 2000 on par with RedHat 6.1? > -Other than recompiling on wintel for delivery, can anyone see > potential problems with using LinuxPPC in a RedHat shop? > -Any known problems with JAVA tools (JDK, JSDK, Tomcat)? > ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
