    Mandrake 9.2 PowerPack Personal Edition would be my choice, but it
    may depend on what you want if for.
    I use it for web services/ mail relay/ smb file shares/ firewall/mrtg
    graphing
    etc etc. As a desktop OS is has all the apps you could need, but I
    dont really use it for that.
    I have also used
    Debian
    rh7/8/9
    suse
    but its mandrake for me.
