[Bioclusters] how are the Redhat product changes affecting existing and future plans?

[Tim Cutts]

My gut feeling is Debian for bog-standard compute nodes, because it has
no commercial agenda, and will not be shot in the head because of such
agendas.  Plus, of course, the fact that it's a damned fine distribution
anyway (OK, I'm a bit biassed, I used to be a Debian developer).

For machines where compatibility matrices are important (such as
machines to run Oracle), it'll probably Red Hat Advanced Server, or the
SuSE equivalent, and ponying up the dough, unfortunately.
