Red Hat just doesn't have as many tools. Debian is coming out with 2.2
soon ("potato"). It may have a nicer installation procedure, I'm not sure.
There are other distributions, too. I was looking into www.phatlinux.com
the other day, which is based upon Red Hat. (I dropped it 'cause it doesn't
do Debian. Yeah, I'm a bigot.) The nice feature is that you can start up
Linux from Windows instead of having to partition the harddrive and all that
bullshit. You might wanna look into it.

Well, there's "FooTopic". I thought it was hilarious so I liked it.
(Apparently, Alan thought up that one.)
