fuzzylizard Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 The subject line basically says it all: Has anyone used White Box Linux before? http://www.whiteboxlinux.org/ If so, how good is it as a replacement for RHEL 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezroller Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 This distro was made a few miles away from my house. One of my coworkers ran it to see how it was, and was neither impressed nor dissapointed by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonMage Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Well.. the only way to know is to try it yourself, isn't it? :) I heard that WhiteBox is pretty much RHEL clone with every RH trademark removed and the compiling is done from source code by the developers (no taking RH RPMs etc), so it should be similar to RHEL.

jlc Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 I've used RHEL 3 and it is pretty rock solid, afaik, whitebox & Lineox is exactly what Dragonmarge said, just recompile src.rpms In fact, you can use there apt-repositorys to keep a RHEL 3 box up2date.
