Hi,
>I have been told countless times that I should be using Slackware, I've
Gee, who told you that? Oh, was it like 5 years ago?;-)
>RedHat 6.2: Installed. Booted. X would only do 640x480 without major
>tweaking. Sorry, that doesn't cut it. I didn't even play with PCMCIA
Hm, why not play with it a little bit? Just go through the X howto once, and
you will see that you can reach really great results with the good old
xf86config/vi/xvidtune triumvirate. It's not a nice GUI, but really effective.
>I didn't get around to trying Debian or any others as I liked the
Debian is really great for a server. The stable distribution uses the old
glibc, and it causes problems when you would like something nice and new on
your desktop. I'm looking forward to upgrading to the new release that supposed
to come out soon. The two problems with debian (at least for me:-)): slow
release, and no KDE. But once they come out with something, it's really stable.
But if you are happy with mandrake, I would say that stick with that. You are
probably used to it, and you can basicaly do the same things. It's linux. I
only tried slackware, debian, and a little redhat on a dell desktop lately
because the IBM classes use redhat, and nobody could get those new AGP Intel
graph cards to work with the latest redhat release.
