[plug] distro question: 'standard'?

[John Knight]

I think either SuSE or Libranet are the way to go, shes light on for hdd 
space, so Libranet may perhaps be the better option in the long run. I find 
SuSE very good when I was  newbie, the other distros have a habit of 
overwriting the standard tools, where as SuSE provides both in my 
experience.

Make lunch, not war.
