Hi folks,

  Just received the InfoMagic LINUX Developer's Resource 5-CD set.

  Which kernel would you recommend?  Slackware or Red Hat.  

  Target system is nothing fancy -- old 486 50MHz PC, EISA bus, Adaptec
  SCSI card, 2-3 drives, CDROM (1x!), DAT, SCANNER -- all SCSI.  Also
  able to add a IoMega ZIP drive (parallel) if I can find drivers.

  Going to start with SLACKWARE (but thinking of then trying RED HAT
  as I'm thinking of ordering a Baby AT Alpha (Digital Alpha) board 
  and I believe Red Hat is a good supplier of the 64-bit UNIX.

  Thanks --

        Larry T.
