[WEB4LIB] Advice on Linux

[Cantona, Eric]

Red Hat is the emerging standard but others are better for learning.

I can't decide if Mandrake or SuSE is the ultimate "For Dummies"  Linux.

Mandrake is similar to (derived from?) Red Hat so you would be learning the
emerging standard.

I strongly recommend bootpart for the dual boot installation.  With bootpart
you can install more than one Linux and keep Win32.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Advice on Linux


I'm thinking of trying Linux on my home machine. My thought is to add a hard
drive to my machine and run it "dual-boot". Does anyone have any
ideas/suggestions as to what favor Linux (ie Red-Hat, Mandrake, etc.) or
tips, hints, etc? Since this is probably not really a list discussion,
please contact me directly at cirwin at theworld.com.

Thanks in advance,
