Check Fedora Core, it is the community version of RedHat I tihnk you are referring to. Red Hat concentrates on its enterprise offerings while supporting Fedora at the same time.

You may want to try Foxlinux! I hated any rpm distro until I ran it. Now it ranks with PCLinux as my favorite. It is easy to configure and use! ABF it seems like for whatever reason RedHat has a large following. So to each his own on selecting a distro. As I stated I hated all RH based distros until I tried PCLinux which is Mandrake based, which is RedHat based. etc.etc.etc.



Did I mention FOX ROX!!!!!!!!!

i was meaning to try fox, but never got around to it.

in the meantime i agree PCLinuxOS Preview .92 is one of the better distros out there. However, Ubuntu (and Xubuntu w/ some tweaks) is my favorite (can't stand Kubuntu though). And yeah, i am using Mandrake 2005 on my desktop currently and it works great.

my beef with RH is that i ran RH8 through Fedora 4 (1,2,3,4) and they have all messed up my system bad.... haven't tried 5, and not planning on it. I've learned my lesson.

All *untu distros use the same basic core and package configs. The diff comes in here:

Ubuntu --- > Gnome + basic desktop programs
Kubuntu ---> KDE + basic desktop programs
Edubuntu ----> Gnome (?) with extra educational and networking progs
Xubuntu ----> XFCE4 and very limited config (still in BETA...and needs lots of work)
Server ---> Just your basic ubuntu core without any fancy progs or guis

my hardware:
AMD64 3200+, ATi 9700 128mb, 1gb pc2700 ram, 60gb 7200rpm hdd, 24x cd-rw/dvd, atheros wifi. (lappy is Uniwill 258KA0)
