I ran redhat 5.0 for three weeks when it first came out.  In SuSE the
user has far more control over the install process for one thing, as
well as a nicer selection of software to start out with.  My problem
with redhat, and in all fairness to redhat this is a glibc2 related
problem and not a redhat flaw, is that hardly anything I wanted to
compile would compile on it.  Part of my loyalty to SuSE rests on the
fact that the only thing that has given me a rough time compiling has
been gnome.  Now that I have cable I am going to download Debian2 just
to try it, but I am so happy with SuSE I am more interested in test
driving other unices like openbsd and netbsd than I am other
distributions of linux.
