[plug] Linux Versions

[Anthony Jones]

What follows is 100% pure opinion - send abuse directly to me, not to the 
list:

Debian is the best distribution.

However RedHat or Mandrake may be easier to get started with because they 
take less knowledge to install. I started with Redhat and changed to Debian 
and that worked out pretty good for me.

There are two packaging systems:

RPM - used by Redhat.
DEB - used by Debian.

It's usually easier to get dependencies right with DEBs than RPMs.  However 
if you install Redhat (and I understand Mandrake is the same) then you can 
just tell it to install everything and it all pretty much works.
