Mandrake, because: 1) It installs like magic. Just works! Easy to understand, and very intuitive. 2) It's up to date. 3) It has a kickstart system so you can produce many identical machines simply. 4) Paris is a much nicer city than those which are home to the other distributions. :-) 5) So that I can support others. It's much easier to do that if my machine is the same as theirs. There are downsides: 1) It installs far too much 'shovel-ware' by default. 2) It installs the Totally Teutonic Linux-conf system so if you make an alteration to something fairly fundermental in you system, blasted Linux-conf undoes all your work. Can't think of anything more off the top of my head. -- Sincerely etc., Christopher Sawtell.
