I too have used RedHat in the past. In my opinion, RedHat -is- already becoming a Micro$oft-like Linux-dist. How often do we hear conversations more or less like this: 'What do you run in your company/at home?" "Linux" "What kind?" "What kind? eerr.. RedHat? (what else?)" I really have *never* heard anyone say SuSE, Caldera, SlackWare or ay other dist. If you're running Linux, you're running RedHat Linux (what else). That's almost asking what OS you're running on your PC at home. "Windoze *of course*". No OS/2, Linux, BeOS or other OS'ses. I personally like SuSE, and I'm stickin' with it. Never had any serious trouble with it. I never had such great support, service (the Powered-by-SuSE stickers!) and fun using other software/hardware/(N)OS. As far as I'm concerned, SuSE, Caldera, Slackware, etc aren't paying enough attention to marketing, as RedHat does. Rogier "Victor R. Cardona" wrote:

I have used both Red Hat and SuSE in my first year as a Linux user. I like them both. Unfortunately, Red Hat has gained an edge on the competition out there through no fault of its own. I am not saying that they will be the next Microsoft. I think that is absurd. However, they may unwillingly reduce competition between the distributions if most software will only install out of the box on a Red Hat Linux system. ...snip
Thanks for hearing me out,
