I've been using Redhat and Mandrake. Redhat has a few more
legacy/backwards compatible utils for data access that Mandrake will
have to have added on later on you own (if you needed them). Redhat
also installs a lot quicker in most cases for me.
I occassionally use BSD for a few things, but mostly I've been sticking
with Redhat. I've only installed up to 9.2 (I think...) and I know
there are a few newer distributions out there since then. Before
that, I was using TurboLinux which I really like, it was very fast and
at the time was one of the better multi-processor supporting Linux's out
there (this was like 4+ yrs ago mind you...) and I had that running my
webserver for quite a while and it ran very well and had some great
monitoring and management tools.

I'm thinking of ditching Windows totally on my desktop at home
as I build my next upgraded x86-bsed PC. So, I wanted to take a poll of the
group for a recommendation on which Linux distro to use. I downloaded Fedora
Core, Slackware, FreeBSD, Unbuntu and Linspire.
Any thoughts from the group?
