Could you please let me know what are the major differences on the
application tools and admin side, pkg management , ease of installation ,
patch management ?support and maintenance for RHEL and SUSE .
i have done some search on the same, but could get only marketing info from
Redhat and suse saying one is better than another .
As most of the responses so far are with RHEL, let me try put plus of
SUSE here.
- As mentioned before both uses RPM internally. SUSE comes with yast
and zypper. I have felt that zypper has more and better commandline
options than yum. For things I had to modify the yum.conf, zypper had
some commandline options.
- SUSE always tries stays with the latest packages. However RHEL does
not. one can argue latest means it may not still be robust enough yet.
In my cases I always wanted my apache to be latest with all security
updates. If I try the same in RHEL, i have ended up with wired
problems.
- The GUI package manager is much better than RHEL.
