I think one of the great things about linux and open source is that you're not locked into one vendor's distro. I think it's important to get that message out so people don't get the idea that RedHat = Linux. There are always alternatives... Personally, I think Debian might be too much for a new user doing an initial install without assistance. But for a workstation, and for someone who doesn't want to compile everything, it rocks. The package management is far superior to rpm, IMHO. Slackware's installer is menu driven and straight forward. Accepting the defaults (like redhat installs) gets you a running system in no time. It detects most common PC hardware out of the box. It just works. Makes a great workstation and gives you the flexibility to learn more when you're ready to start compiling stuff from source. distro flames > /dev/null -- scot _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
