I'm a distro-slut; if a penguin winks at me, I've got to take it home. I'm using RedHat 9.0 right now, but I could just as well re-boot and use Debian Sarge; Debian is my personal preference, but RH 9 is really pretty; more user-friendly so to speak, which brings me to my software reccomendation; if you're using RedHat, the default package management system is RPMS (spelled S-U-C-K-S), there is an application that allows RedHat users to experience the joy of using Debians wonderful package management system; it's called apt-rpm, and it beats RedHat's default system six ways to Sunday. My suggestion would be to do a Google search (Google is your friend) and D/L and install apt-rpm immediatly, along with Synaptic, a GUI frontend for apt-rpm; once you get the hang of it, you'll wonder how you ever did without it!
