Ive just moved from mandrake to redhat, purly cause of the gui login thats force on you in the latest mandrake unless u recompile the kernel and I dont have time for that atm :).
Redhats fine if you control the install properly and cut out half the crap. Linux is only as secure as the firewall script you run on it so as long as you know what your doing your fine :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Wrath_of_Ace Sent: 04 November 2001 18:47 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Which distribution of linux should I use... I highly recommend Debian. I am using it, and have been using for 3 months and I love it. It is a nice flavor of Liinux. I have tried Red Hat and Mandrake, and I was a disappointed with both distros. Debian is easy to install and setup. I suggest it to anyone who is willing to try Linux for the first time. If you wanna try out my server I can put it up for a few hours tonight and let you all try it. Dan PS I am using Potato on an AMD Duron 800 512MB of RAM. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Derek Evan Mart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, November 04, 2001 11:08 AM Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Which distribution of linux should I use... > * [cOwS.dk]~UrbaN~ ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [011104 09:04]: > > I have downloaded these 3 distributions of Linux: > > - Debian v2.2r3 > > As a debian user I must speak up and say that if you try out debian, > you should use it for longer than a month to really get a good > opinion of it, i.e., get more than a month of total active usage out > of it and you will be impressed.
