What do you recommend then for a distro? I see - and this is based only on my time in the newsgroups and mailing lists:
RH - the MS an AOL of the Linux world: breaks rules, doesn't maintain standards,bleeding edge, doesn't have much of a clue. They made it popular but lost it SUSE - ? Mandrake - ? Debian - ? Who else is there - Maybe use gentoo to set it up and then make your own changes and updates (I do that with Caldera anyway in that I upgrade the kernels and some of the apps). What distros are worth installing in that they include what they are supposed to and follow the standards? I would like to know as I'm building a Linux workstation and also a file server. I'd planned to use Caldera Server 3.1.1 and WS 3.1.1.
