questions about distributions



I think for first time users, Corel might be the best choice. Corel lacks 
many of the more advanced features. Red Hat is probably a bit easier to 
install than SuSE, but I have not tried their new graphical interface. In 
my office we support Red Hat, SuSE, TurboLinux, and FreeBSD.  I personally 
run Red Hat on my Alpha and SuSE on my intel.
