In summary:

The latest issue of _Aust. Personal Computer_ (Sep. 98) has a feature
article on Linux.  Their Editor's Choice is Red Hat 5.1 (Intel PC)
which they say "is suited to the widest range of users".

They give Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 a guernsey as "Most Promising Distribution"
but say it "is slightly more difficult for the non-technical user to
manage than Red Hat".

Caldera OpenLinux 1.2 is rated "Highly Commended."

The other two distributions examined (Slackware Linux 3.5 and SuSE
Linux 5.2) seem to have been downrated largely because they did not
measure up in terms of ease of installation, system management, and
system layout.  Slackware was also rated lowly for "package range
and quality."

Cheers,  Ian S.
