LinuxPPC vs. RedHat???

[Rich West]

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.. :)
