I don't like Mandrake, the latest version I have is 8.1. It's way too n00bish for me. I mean, it's a n00b version of RedHat (it's based on RedHat), and RedHat is n00b to me...
About as non-n00b as I wanted to go was Debian. I installed 2.2 r5 on a PII system and it wasn't hard, but I did have to figure out how to set up X and the window manager I wanted and all that stuff by myself.
Yup! It's a n00b distro (like I said above if you would read it), but it's not slowed down much by the crap.
It's the newest thing I have, so that's what I'm going to use. You can't exactly download whatever you want when you have dial-up you know... _________________ Due to a not-that-interesting turn of events, I am now known as Justin Danger.

I installed RH8 as a dual boot and it's great. I need the N00b interface as I'm a linux N00b myself. Learning slowly though. I can now mount hard drives, get apache and php working, got samba working (still trying to figure out how to speficy custom shares?!). Later on I want to get into more complex stuff like DNS routing and stuff like that. Basically set it up like a host would with cpanel and all. _________________ my site
