<div>Hi,</div>
<div>Sorry for cross-posting on several lists, but we are in the
process of taking some important decisions, on the OS to
use...</div>
<div>For several years we have mapserver, gdal and Postgis,
etc... running on a Windows server.</div>
<div>We plan to migrate our GIS tools from the Windows server to
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.</div>
<div>I heard bad comments on using SLES with mapserver,
postgres/postgis, gdal, etc...Taht the installation of these
tools was a pain compare to OpenSUSE or UBUNTU.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Comments on using and maintaining GIS infrastructure with
SLES 11 would be very appreciated.</div>

Hi all.<br>
I think having GIS packages ready and updated is the most important
thing in choosing a Linux distro. Debian should be the best, as it
is updated and wdely used and tested.<br>
All the best.<br>
