That's easy!
IMHO (having tried all of the above except debian), install
RH5, take the other disks and use them for coasters.
I don't mean to start a philosophical war here, this is
just my opinion, and having spent the money on other linux
distros, and evaluating them for a couple months, I think
RH5 is the best.
Speaking of which, I have for free (you pay shipping):
slackware (4 disk set - distro 3.4)
ameritech 2.5
caldera openLinux lite
Linux Pro 4.1a
slackware 3.0?
Good luck.
George
