Hi, I had been using Red Hat 8.0 until recently. Now I have formatted my hard-disk and I am reading reviews that Red Hat 9.0 will no longer supported and so people should switch to Fedora or something else. My questions: 1. Which linux distribution would be good for me ? I am an average person fond of some programming, web-development and interested in learning networking ? My use would be more or less like an advanced desktop system. Before I install I would like to hear which distribution I should install, red hat 8.0 or fedora or mandrake or suse and why ? 2. The charges that Red Hat takes for it's linux distributions like it's server operating systems and the new O/S coming out this year are all I hope for support and documentation and such stuff, am I correct ? Does the license under which linux was released make it compulsory for it to be given as free ? I know it has to stay open source and available to all but is there also a compulsion that it should always be given free, my point is always ? Thanks and regards, Neil.
