Re: Flavors of Linux

In our case it is 3rd party support that made us go with Red Hat 8.
If you have devices that will be running on the host, then you want to 
make sure that you have the kernel module that go with them.

If for example you have frame grabbers, then you want corresponding 
vendor to have QAed the hardware on this linux platform. Ultimately you 
want them to support it as well.

Red Hat is a sure bet.
