Hello again from Gregg C Levine Just for the sake of argument, and any other supporting reasons, does anyone have a preference, regarding the distributions that they use? I, myself, prefer Slackware for most things, and indeed I've been using it since starting my interests in Linux. But I'm rapidly reaching the decision that I should use others as well. The next time a box goes live here, it'll be wearing Debian, instead. So? What does everyone prefer? ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon@worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."

RedHat 8.0 makes the most sense since it is the most common. Everything is available in RH rpm files.
Debian is really good tho... the apt-get function rules, loads packages right over the internet. You can get an image over the net and use it load the rest.
I have been hacking Devil-Linux.org into a product called eLSD. Devil-Linux is a security product that runs from a CD, many packages. Check it out its great. Mine is an install based on it. I want to move it right into the BIOS :)

DOE is kind of a Red Hat outfit.
You should take a look at gentoo, which is a source-based distribution with something like FreeBSD's "ports collection". very neat.

I'd prefer the list stay on-topic and away from distro flamewars.
