Hi all,
I've got a company that does Network Administration in several clients, but up until now we've only worked with M$ systems.
I'm starting to use linux (just brought a machine home to install it), and my goal is to try to find out if with Linux we'll be able to replace some of our clients systems.
One of my newbie questions is about what distro should we use. We need something that's not very complicated to start with, but that allows us to implement good server solutions.
Right now I'm trying to choose between Red Hat and Suse. One of my friends (who is a Red Hat fan) told me that he didn't like SUSE because we were a bit dependant on their configuration tools (I think he mentioned YAST).
Can you please tell me if SUSE would be the best distro for me to start with, and why?
Thanks in advance

Well, since you're writing to a Suse list, you'll probably find a biased opinion here, but.... I prefer Suse having run both Red hat 9 and Suse 8.2. I have to run my own little network within a university network and I'm not by any stretch of the imagination a linux expert. Suse was much easier to configure and get running right out of the box so to speak for me, networking with windows machines, etc. wayne
