Red Hat Linux 9, thoughts?

[Tomas]

This for x86 right? Then i really think Mandrake 9.2 is a much better choice.. There is so much hassle with redhat, since they stripped system of several things, including mp3 playback.. Also mandrake has much better GUI for configuring hardware and so on and has more up2date software, including newer kernel.

The installer on mandrake is sweet also :-D

Redhat linux is not being developed anymore either, though there is a new distro based on redhat "fedora".

Edit:

I also use debian today.. I really love the package system and the control you have there  :-D
I am really not sorry for that i started with mandrake though.. I really dont think i would have used linux today, if it was not for the experience i had with mandrake..

I think mandrake is a real nice way to get to know linux.  :-)

One tip though... Make one dedicated partion for /home, as then you will have all you programs/documents untouched, if you decide to change distro later on..
