Here is as unbiased as I can muster, a description of distributions
talents.
Mandrake - Easy installation and setup, lots of apps, multimedia, ease of app
installation
RedHat - Fairly easy installation and setup, some neat apps, multimedia,
pretty secure, ease of app installation, easy as Mandrake
to operate.
Suse - Very very high-end graphics.
Debian - Excellent firewall and security.
Slackware - Great for all server uses and other networkings.
I may have some errors in the above, but its all I can remember right now.
