The Realm Linux Advantage

I get asked a lot why people around campus should run RealmLinux rather than stock Red Hat Enterprise Linux or another distribution. I will use this page to build a list of reasons that make the Realm Linux Advantage.

  • Official Support Structure Through Campus
    • Help Desk
    • Email Lists
    • Trouble Tickets
    • Local Linux System Administrators
  • Makes system administrator's jobs easier
  • Takes Advantage of Centralized Services
    • Directory Services
    • Authentication
    • Security Errata
    • AFS/Backups
  • Access to NCSU software via the add mechanism
  • Easily Used to Provide Centralized Services
    • Your Department
    • The Entire University
  • Local Administrators Concentrate On Providing Their Needs Rather Than Administration of the Entire Server/Workstation/Infrastructure
  • RealmLinux Servers and Clients Are Similar to Other RealmLinux Machines Throughout Campus
  • Smaller Learning Curve for Others That Might Take Over Running Your Servers or Labs
