That's OK. Mandrake is the best choice for novel users, in my opinion.
But there you have the RPM package system from RedHat, and a lot of additional headache when removing/installing/updating packages or security patches.. comparing with Debian.
The good part of Mandrake that I liked very much is the easyness of installation and that there are some configuration utlities (for printer definition in cups, for example) that makes your life easier.
Anyway, as with any linux system, unlike with Windows, once configured, you may almost forget that you have a server to mantain! (well, not quite, but taking Windows as a reference and thinking of dayly freezings, errors, need of rebooting, etc etc etc.. we may safely say that!)

Debian is a good choice too :) It has a nice packaging system which detects library and program dependencies and installs all what you need (unlike rpm from RedHat)..
Maybe is not so easy configurable as Mandrake for exmaple, but you have an all 'open source' distribution, stable and mature, with great community support. I recommend it to all the people who need a robust a professional system.

Hi, a good choice would be LINUX !!! Suse 9.1 or 9.2 (Novell version).

Dear contributors
Seeing your site it gives me a lot of hope feeling that there are people dedicated to the human cause which should be among the highest priorities in this world. I am affiliated to a charity hospital who urgently needs a HIS and I have been searching for all sorts of software in that regard . They are all developed by companies that are claiming lots of money for their products. But I think that your software will soon gain fame. Please keep the good work up. God bless you and may happiness and success accompany you all the way. I will inform you of any developments that may occur in making the Farsi edition work.Please help me in obtaining the sources of the software. And I would like to know on which platform the program works better (windows or linux and which brand of linux(debian , slackware, redhat, mandrake)).Thank you all.
With highest respect.
