Unforgiven1:
I've been using RedHat 9.0 for awhile now..but now that I see that there is a wealth of free OSs to screw around with out there I'd like to try some others to see what they are like.

I'm actually downloading slackware as I type this...should I try slackware out..or does it suck?

and I see this Fedora..whats it like?  worth a look...or crap.

anything else you guys think I should try on for size I'm welcome to.

oh...and are there any distros that will actually recognize a serial Hard Drive?  I'd really like to hear about those.

Refalm:
Fedora is still in beta.
Slackware requires some IQ => 110 and Linux experience.
Mandrake will launch 9.2 in a few weeks, which kicks ass.
CalyptOS is still in alpha.

My choice is Mandrake.

slave:
Fedora is not in beta anymore, and I highly suggest you try it.  It's the only completely free, easy to use Linux distribution besides Mandrake.

insomnia:
Mandrake 9.2 is also already available.  ;)  
An other easy Linux will be the next Debian.

Still..., slackware is a very good way to learn.

LordWiccara:
I started on Red Hat, then switched to Mandrake 9.1.  Ive never had any problems with it, and it is extremely easy to learn on.  Therefore, suggesting Mandrake.
