in the first place. That is to say for the support from the distribution maker as well as support of 3<sup>rd</sup> party commercial products on it. RHEL has the highest number of these of any distro. Sure Canonical will sell you support but that doesn’t
mean you’ll be on a par with RHEL.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Hmm. I use mostly RHEL systems and given the stuff i do/chase/break/fix/concoct/babysit/admin/design/build/etc. , the most accurate preposition
is "in".<br>
<br>
Eg: "_in_ the LDAP server I found...", "_in_ the dogtag process there's a...", and "_in_ apache, the config...".<br>
<br>
Of course there's also, " there was a spark _in_ the server", " I hear a clicking sound _in_ the hard drive array", and "_in_ the heat sink as well as the entire system is a layer of black, semi-conductive dust".<br>
<br>
What I quite happily have not heard is "on" as in, "the router is on fire". But I have heard, "that part is on back order".<br>
<br>
I've been known to work "with" great people but more usually "for" PHBs :-) I've also been know to get "on" a rant and a soapbox. Linus complains when I climb onto his personage :-)<br>
<br>
Generally, I do work with, in and on RHEL systems.<br>
<br>
Yes. fun with words!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
