hi daniel. instead of me trying to tell you which distro to try over another, I would suggest you consider what you want to do with it. as far as I can make out, debian and slackware are geared towards software developers and those who want to run servers. as far as redhat or mandrake is concerned, if I were to look at it from a sutes users point of view, I would say that those 2 distros are designed with ease of use in mind. however, running a server with those distros isn't uncommon either. I probably sound like I'm talking a wholo load of rubish at the moment and someone please pick me up on this if I am. I'd just read on a little while and look around on the various sites and consider what you want from your linux system. -- Shaun I never made a mistake in my life.
