	Hey, the distribution you use that gets the job done is the
one that's "right".  It simply a matter that with RH it's easier and
cleaner than the other distributions I've tried.  I haven't tried them
all, yet, but so far RH works out of the bok on every system I've tried
it on.	One thing, though.  By "out of the box" I mean installling the
initial CDD-ROM then adding all the errata imediately.	The errata is
99.99% security fixes that have to go into every Linux distribution (and,
for that matter, just about all the commercial UNIX, as well) so that's
not an issue worth mentioning.	Now don't get me wrong, RH has it's flaws,
just like anything of a similar scope.	They just have the cleanest way of
handeling these errata issues and have the most solid distribution out.
I have a friend, though, who uses Slack becuse that's the one he can
get his work done on.  Like I said, you use the distribution that gets
the job done for you.  This includes (IMO) the {whatever}BSD's as well.
