Hi,

We are using Red Hat v9 and we are having a problem with both USB and
getting Samba to work and Video card compatability.


I am thinking of rebuilding the machine and starting from Scratch,
which flavour of Linux would you recommend?
Thanks
Geoffers,


Do you want to stick with a Red Hat based Linux, switch to Novell/SuSE based Linux or someoneelses Distro?

Sticking to Red Hat, go for RHEL 5.2 (if you can spend money for support) or Fedora 9.

Novell/SUSE, SLES 10sp2 (if you can spend money for support) or go for openSUSE 11 (netters am I right?)

Slackware, Debian or Ubuntu I cannot comment on.


Kind regards,


Jan Gerrit
