    i like mandrake....redhat just doesn't "feel right".....i have no other excuse then that.
    That has to be the most profound thing I have ever heard on these forums, and the most accurate also. One linux distro isn't better then any other. They all run the same kernal. They can all run the same programs. Etc etc. They are just packaged differently. Some say SuSE is better because it comes with 8 CD's and 42 DVD's (ok, a little exagarated). I can download any of that information from the internet. Some say Slackware is the best because it is most customizable. Download tar-balls instead of RPM's for your Redhat machine, and you have the same thing. About the only dfference in purchasing is that Redhat has some semblance of customer support.

    Anyway, its all about what "feels right" to you.

    i agree with souleman

    mo matter which distro you use the underlying kernel is still the same(unless you modified it in some way to suit your needs)...so i dont think that opinions like SUSE is a better performer than Red Hat holds any water..again like souleman said various distros will have various packages to offer and that mind make a difference to the over all look and feel...but then these packages could be downloaded....
    i am a regular user of Red Hat..

    Hmm...I guess I'd have to go with RedHat, but I haven't had much experience with all of those.

    Just started using mandrake 8.2. like it better than redhat. got dvd and cdrw to work on first try.
    never got RH7.2 to even detect cdroms so I had RH7.1 which worked great.
    {P²P}Apocalypse kinda convinced me to switch to mandrake

    It doesn't like your winmodem I don't blame it. It's a software based modem that was built for "windows kept in mind" and sometimes windows doesn't even like winmodems lol

    i've been using redhat for several years, so far i've stuck to it. just haven't had time or resources to test out the other distros, except for debian, which i had to use for a 486 laptop (because it already had floppy install files ready) which i couldn't install over a network at the time.

    and i've tried a few floppy-based linux distros for a short while. quite fun.

    regards,
    mark.
