As a Newbie checking them all...... I installed Red Hat 7.1, Mandrake 8, Debian 2.2R3 (oh headache), Corel Ed 2 and Suse 7.1 and even though I am pretty green I found Red Hat 7.1 was so easy to install and looks very clean to work with. Most features of the OP SYS were really well laid out. My vote goes to Red Hat 7.1. Greg
