I last used SuSE 7.1, which I really liked. I've always hated RedHat. Never tried Mandrake. Now I like FreeBSD, which isn't Linux at all (but very similar). As long as you're in an experimental mood, you might check that out as well. All my machines are FreeBSD now. Available packages are even simpler to install and maintain with the FreeBSD ports system than the RPM system (IMO). A list of ports to native FreeBSD can be found at http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html Also, even if your favorite application doesn't have a FreeBSD ports, you can run in "Linux emulation" mode, so everything that works on the Linux machine will work with FreeBSD. Sorry for sounding like an advertisement, but I really am happy with it. -- Carl Tucker [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
