[ale] good linux

[Davis, Ricardo C.]

I'll cast my vote for Red Hat.  I've played around with Mandrake too, but
since the "big client" prefers Red Hat it's given me opportunity to get in
deep.  And now Red Hat Network has made my job of managing all my clients'
systems much easier.  If you have at least RH 6.2 I suggest you give it a
try:  http://www.redhat.com/network/.

Depends an awful lot on the individual, as I suspect all the current major
distributions are pretty solid operations. I've used _mostly_ Red Hat
distro's on intel, alpha, and ppc platforms over the years. The iBook is
currently running SuSE, after I got snarled up in Yellow Dog. I've used an
early Caldera, Debian, Slackware generally with success.

As such, my _personal_ choice is Red Hat out of habit more than anything
else. For the compulsive tweaker, Debian? perhaps? For the experienced
obsesive tweaker definitely Slackware. For a more "set and
forget" individual, an rpm based distribution, although my very limited
experience with Debian says that should be a solid choice also.

Hope this helps.
