My experience is that most linuxes do not work perfectly straight out
of the CDROM (or the floppy - when I started it was in the .99plNN
days). Something always falls over or doesn't quite do what its
suppossed to. I have often wondered how a newbie to unix/linux would
cope.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, the latest redhat 4.1 is the first
I have used from the box without having to do at least some minor
repair work. It also autoloads from the CD, so no need for making
boot/root floppies etc.
