I really have had the best/easiest time with Suse.

I'm no expert, far from it, but RedHat 9 seemed to take a step in the Windows direction... They started to use proprietary methods that made certain software and other things unusable. Maybe this isn't a problem anymore, but it was last time I checked it out. Oh, that, and isn't RedHat (personal edition or whatever) no longer supported? There's the Fedora project now... I forget exactly what that means tho.

Now, Suse I had a ball with. Installation went 100% without a hitch, haven't had significant problems compiling and installing software, Yast seems to be a competant utility for updating your system... So yea, that's what I recommend.

p.s. like I said, I'm no expert, probably bordering on beginner, actually. i'd like to hear if any of my impressions are false.
