Actualy if i may say so without showing any disrespect, 90% of questions
would be answered IF the asker read the flipping manuals, as per RTFM.
Actual i have installed SuSe Redhat Debian and slackware, i must admit i'm
not a newbie BUT if you wanna learn LINUX learn "slackware".
I can agree with most comments on use this or that, "because" it has a nice
windows style installer etc etc.. But i still stick and say to a new commer
to the wonderfull world of linux, Use slackware, you will learn much more
about your system and HOW it works than you ever will with all the rpm's and
zuf's whatever they maybe..
I have been using Redhat for the past year, i have got so fed up with how
Redhat likes to do things for you the way redhat wants, its getting TOO much
like widows.
