Really......so then I could "theoretically" use just ONE distribution
throughout the entire home network I have
planned??.....wow! I was under the impression that different distros...did and allowed
different things?....or am I
just stoopid?...LoL!
how comes this impression?
i am running fedora since many years as workstations and also for routers,
firewalls, webservers, telephony servers, dns-servers, web-servers and all
other things you imagine a computer can do
why not?
there is the linux kernel and a bundle of opensource software
finally they are all the same and differs in their version
and upgrade intervals - but there is not single fundamental
difference between running sama on fedora, suse, ubuntu....
