- froh 2y agonope. the first enterprise Linux was SuSE on s390, then came RH on x86 and then suse there as well. but RH marketing was better back then already :-D
- rbanffy 2y agoBack then I went with Debian, but I agree - the early scale-out crowd went mostly with Red Hat. Back then there was a lot of companies still doing scale-up with more exotic hardware with OSs like AIX and Solaris.

I was there, our Linux deployements were only used internally, we never sold those workloads as UNIX targets on our product.
