RedHat 8.0 is just great if you can build some decent working CD :(

I never hear you guys talk about Debian... I've been told its one of the easiest ones to get help with and to find drivers/software for.

Just started using it so don't really have an opinion in it yet. Only other distro I've used was RH 7.1

Yeah, Debian is similer to Slackware in some ways, but I'v heard it to be very good.

I like Redhat 8.

Debian and Slackware are both excellent too.

Debian, RedHat, Mandrake, SUSE, and Slackware are all similar in many fun ways. Debian and Slackware are for those with the do-it-yourself mindset, with patience and the ability to read the bazillions of How-Tos available. All of these distributions can offer a good dose of learning, but Debian and Slackware make it inherently easy as one must do a lot more toying at the get-go (but not too much mind you, otherwise I'd like Linux From Scratch... I'm too lazy for that kind of involvement though).

I knnow the main thing for you to do is read up on both flavours of linux, and see which one would fit your computer usage the best. Good luck and have fun.

Huh? I'm really lazy. Debian does everything I have to do with other distros for me. Install discover, mdetect, and hotplug...everything works great. Plus with the alternatives system and stuff...

Just because the install can be difficult if you've never installed before doesn't mean the system itself is difficult to use.
