I'm new to the Unix world.
I have to find a Linux Version ( on Intel PIII ).
I don't want to try *all* of them ... so I need advise .
Can you help me finding an "easy" linux ( easy to install , easy to maintain )
I can learn a few unix command but I don't want to be obliged to become a GURU just for two machines
thanks in advance
Zo??

Re: what Unix to choose ?
I should also choose between Redhat & Suse
because they are the most mainstream linux distros. Also, if you want to use commercial
software on it, the chance is bigger that
this software is certified for those distros.
At my job the choice was redhat, mainly
for support reasons and because its the most
used distro in the entreprise environment.
regards,
Steven

Re: what Unix to choose ?
You can download live eval versions of suze and redhat from their sites, which don't require install. .. just for cd evaluation. Typically you can get them on cd's with magazines.
My linux install is based on which works for my hardware without having to change anything.
I do tend to try harder to install suze, because I feel it's a more pro build, however, redhat seems more widely accepted.
Debian is also good because it's free, and is well accepted also (GNU linux)
Later,
Bill

Re: what Unix to choose ?
Check your H/W (video chip, scsi chip) if the distribution in your mind support these chips.
Especially, many people are trouble with X Server.
If you have some application in your mind, check the application support which distribution.
FYI, linux is called "Unix like OS".
Good luck

Re: what Unix to choose ?
I'd choose:
1) RedHat - Commercial support is available, lots of people using.
2) SuSe - Lots of users in Europe. It's also good.
3) debian - Very powerful packaging system, but hard to install. For pros only.
Hope it helps,
Paga
