This is not a recommendation, and particularly _not_ for inexperienced
folks:
Lately, despite my distaste for the GNU zealots, I've returned to using
Debian. There's an installer for XFS too.
Danger Will Robinson: Debian is difficult to install compared to other
distros. It also installs and turns on a lot of crap if you don't watch.
On the upside: one of the easiest to maintain w/ security patches,
particularly over a phone line or other slow connection (a chicken could
do it -- peck, peck).
There are also 4 places in /etc that need editing to remove the incorrect
usage of GNU as the owner of Linux and a few more below that.
For less experienced, I've found Slackware to be an exceptionally good
distro. Personally, I wouldn't touch RH.
Ciao,
David A. Bandel
