I have to agree with Debian. I like their GNU philosophy as well as the
flexablity of the package system. I've set up a full system, and I'm running a
very lean system as well on my 386. Redhat seems more suitable for newbies but
I haven't tried out Debian 2+ yet (yes, I'm still running 1.3, if it ain't
broke don't fix it ;),
