Red Hat Desktop 4 review
Reviews Red Hat's enterprise credentials are evident when you download the product. The site offers a huge and comprehensive list, which seems to include every version of every operating system Red Hat has ever made.

SuSE Linux Desktop review
Reviews Yahoo supplies a Unix client, but SuSE users must use a package designed for Red Hat's distribution. Applications can generally be found in the form of a package, using a format such as RPM (Red Hat Package Management), which includes all the...

Build your own Linux server review
Reviews Eventually though, Red Hat Linux 9 with the KDE 3.2 desktop environment was up and running, with all hardware recognised first time. Eliminate distros aimed more at desktop use, and you're left with Novell's SuSE Linux and Red Hat Linux (RHL), both...

Bare metal hypervisors: a group test review
Reviews It should be very familiar to anyone who has installed Red Hat since the Domain 0 kernel is based on CENTOS. Of course, there are other Xen-based solutions such as xVM Server from Sun and Red Hat Linux Enterprise (RHEL) Server, which currently...

Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 review
Reviews We installed a couple of versions of Windows (2000 and XP) and also configured virtual machines running Ubuntu Linux, Fedora Core 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The Windows installations were straightforward and the Red Hat software also worked as...

Sun Solaris 10 review
Reviews Yes, you can download and install it just like Red Hat or SuSE Linux, but there the similarities end, making Solaris 10 far less of an obvious choice for companies looking for a Linux alternative. Unfortunately the first release is limited to...

VMware ESXi review
Reviews Some administrators may like the idea of managing their hypervisor via Red Hat or Windows, but in practice we suspect most will prefer the simplicity of the ESXi approach. In contrast, ESX Server uses Red Hat Linux to store and load the hypervisor...

IBM xSeries 206m review
Reviews You can order the x206m with no OS or with Microsoft Small Business Server, Microsoft Server 2003, or Red Hat or Novell SUSE Linux. Based on the second generation of IBM's Xtended Design Architecture, the xSeries 206m offers a choice of Intel's...

KACE KBOX 1000 Series review
Reviews However, the only official Linux support at present is for the Red Hat Enterprise distros. Then we re-booted and simply logged on to the web-based interface to start managing our network. One of the first tasks was to discover the devices on the...

Windows Small Business Server 2003 review
Reviews Ostensibly, it competes with other server suites targeted at small business, such as Apple's Mac OS X Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES, but SBS offers more extensive features and tighter integration among the applications and services.

Server consolidation: a tech guide review
Reviews More recently, Microsoft and Citrix have both joined the fray with excellent virtualisation products (Hyper-V and XenServer respectively), while Red Hat is expected to launch a new platform later this year.

Samsung SCX-4100 review
Reviews Although the older SCX-4016 is Mac compatible, the SCX-4100 favours Linux operating systems at and above Red Hat 7.1, Mandrake 8.0, SuSE 7.1, Caldera OpenLinux 3.1, Turbo Linux 7.0 and Slackware 8.1. You can also share within a network, create and...

MailFrontier Gateway Appliance M500 review
Reviews You can specify either Red Hat Enterprise Linux (as on the review model) or Windows Server 2003; both OSs are security hardened and, interestingly enough, there's no difference in price. It's not all plug and play, though: you do need to know how...

Linux Fundamentals review

Dell PowerEdge 1950 review
Reviews On the software front, Dell will factory-install Windows Server 2003, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 ES or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10. You can also specify a TCP offload engine (TOE) to be enabled as an option on the integrated Gigabit Ethernet...
