So are all the other distributions. Red Hat has the largest market share so more people are using it. Also Red Hat tends to attract more newbies because it appears a little easier or has that reputation. The newbie@xfree86 list probably isn't the best place to start a distro-flamewar. These are always non-productive, convey no information to anyone and waste electrons. It'd be best if we all concentrated on helping each other sort out problems where we can. Sorry if this post sounds a little rude, but I'm sick of distro-discussions. Let's keep it technical and help each other out instead. (Otherwise the *BSD people will triumph ;-) ) Oisin Feeley _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
