    I've tried RedHat 7.0,7.1,7.2 and Mandrake 8.1 and Debian ?.? and even a test of Yellowdog, though I doubt that applies unless you've got an old Mac sitting around. RedHat has by far been my best experience. The options you get during the install are great for newbies and experts alike. I especially like 7.2's ext3 filesystem. I have power outages fairly regularly and it's so much nices to have a filesystem that doesn't get fried when the system gets show down roughly. I intend to try out some of the BSD variants someday soon.

    I've tried Redhat, Mandrake, Debian, Slackware, Suse and I'm going to check out Caldera soon. The best for newbies IMHO is Mandrake or Redhat.

    I've tried many different distros and Im always going back to SuSE as web and file server, and FreeBSD as gateway/router for my Internet and DMZ. Next for me to try is Debian on a Alpha machine, wish me good luck .

    Slackware7.1 is very nice, and clean. I've heard that slackware8.0 is pretty nice aswell, but for the most part, I like slackware7.1 the best out of the distros I've used.

    Why no man choose RedHat?
    I think it works fine and is excellent.
    I used it in version 7.2.
