Maybe you want to create and maintain a list of people who used to live
in Hawaii, loved it, were driven out by the bad economy, but would love
to come back.
If you do that, you can put me on top of that list ;-).

Mandrake is just a shittier version of Red Hat. I've not used the
drake-fly distro because of it's insistence that web-based GUI are
acceptable means for system administration. Did you know Mandrake was

SuSe is fine if you like lengthy install
When the best question (or which in this case) evokes responses with
cursewords and slights without examples, no one really benefits.

I firmlly believe that no one should comment on distributions they
haven't tried and know little about. I've alternated between Mandrake
and redhat every year for the last several years. I use Mandrake

Once you get used to single boot diskette based network installs for
redhat, mandrake, and debian, its hard to go back to downloading
gigabytes of CDs unless you already own the CDs or are installing many
machines.
SuSE also does the ftp install ... so no need for those ISOs and/or CDs

neglect apt-cache.

Given that rpm used to stand for Red Hat Package Manager. This

Sometime back an article was posted on this newsgroup describing how

I appreciate all the input you all have given. I think I will try out
the Fedora project over debian for now. I am used to RH9 and that alone
may make it worth doing. I was planning to set up a newer, faster box,
so I don't mind the reinstall and reconfiguring. I was a little
disappointed that RH

Don't worry about Fedora disappearing or Red Hat abandoning the
