In which case, you may be better off going with RedHat - whilst I run
Slackware on my own boxes, I've found people who aren't used to Linux or
UNIX (but certainly aren't computer novices nor experts, either), seem to
warm to RedHat a lot quicker.

That's what I'm working on/with at present (in particular, CORBA
security);  ImpColl in the UK apparently has written their own ORB subset
that I'm going to fit/port/whatever to Linux soon.

The one thing most Linux users should learn, IMHO, is how to rebuild their
kernel.
