After 6 years of pain, we’re finally getting rid of SAP R/3 and the accepted replacement is based on Linux/MySQL. The solution vendor has a preference for supporting SLES or RHEL and my (limited) experience has been solely with RH in non-critical applications. This is a real opportunity for me to get involved with Linux and although the last 2 years have been spent tinkering with RH I have no problem with refocussing on Suse. At some point in the future I’d also like to pursue Linux certification.
I’d appreciate any advice on choosing between SLES/RHEL and also which is likely to give me the most career mileage.
