In an effort to divest myself from Microsoft, I am getting ready to setup a
drive on my computer with Linux. My questions start with what is the best
distribution. To start with? I am running a P4 box on a home network. I
have a TRIOS II setup on it so I can rotate between 3 boot drives. I
purchased Red Hat 6.2 some time ago, still in the sealed box. Probably not
the best choice now, but I just don't know. Any help is appreciated.
