What are your views of Linux?
Rick.

I would not say that i am fan, but i prefer it over Windows.
A distro like ubuntu is also nearly as user friendly as Windows and is even easier to install and maintain providing that your hardware is supported. What takes away a bit, is that each distro use different standards, which means that you cannot simply download a redhat rpm and expect to run it on ubuntu and vice versa.

I strongly recommend ubuntu over redhat

You normally don't use RPM directly. There are frontends like yum or up2date. (Like apt-get for dpkg).

Still works much less better than apt on lets say debian or ubuntu. And yes, i have tried redhat recently.
