ahhh, not this question. Ok, so, RH is probably the popular distro in the worls, but I don't know that I'd ever call it "on top" :) I personally use Slackware, and always have, first Linux distro I ever used and none of the others are comfprtable to me, now, I think a lot of people in the arena like debian and some use Suse, Debian is pretty cool. Redhat is ok for a workstation, but I think you'd want something that you had complete control over the stuff on for a server and the redhat install drops all kinds of stuff on by default and puts them in sometimes odd places. _______________ Jonathan Furrer jonny@jofu.com On Wed, 2 Jan 2002, Alan Gore wrote: -->I'm an old subscriber just getting back onto the list after a year of -->absence.
