Re: [LUG] linux newb

Hi Max

I've got several distros that you can try if you wish. Suse 8.2,
Mandrake 9.1 and Red Hat 9.0. I like them all for various reasons but I
have to say for detection they were all the same. Suse is better for
multimedia purposes coming with a video editing package. Red Hat offers
excellent server options and Mandrake is good if you like an MS looking
and behaving disto. If you are local to St Austell I don't mind bringing
them around if not maybe I could send them.
