RE: OT : linux flavors

I have to say I use Redhat 7.0 and apart from being a tad over-engineered it's relatively simple to setup. The only problem I encountered was getting the X environment setup (LCD monitor with GeForce card). You get a lot for your money with RedHat and plenty of training courses too. (Although you pay for that through the nose if you go to RedHat!!)...

For starters, I'd recomend redhat, it's quite friendly. HTH --Yohans
