I would go with FreeBSD or Slackware.

They are both free and you can download the iso's from there web site and burn your own CD. They are the same OS as Red Hat the biggest difference is the package manager is a little different in them.

Hi guys
Just a quick update
There was nothing wrong with the SuSE disk no1. It was the PCMCIA Card that it couldn't identify and caused a hardware error that broke up the installation very early in the piece.
The message: "There was an error during installation" and then reboot wasn't really a great hint to the problem
Anyway, got lots to sort out yet.
One thing is for sure
Since when did Linux get so bloated?
I set aside 1.9 GIG and to install Open Office as well needed another 850+ Meg of HH space

I didn't have that to spare so I installed without Office just to see what it is like now.
Heaps of things to sort out yet

Just a quick update

I have gone with SuSE 8.2 Professional simply because their Website appeared to give more info in regards to thier product.
Right now I am actually using Konqueror to type this message

Configuration takes a bit of getting used to as it took me hours to get the Internet up and running but that is more a thing of me being unfamiliar with the product.

It didn't do a bad job at all as I installed it on a Laptop with PCMCIA that has LAN and modem in one.

Considering the Software that has come with it I believe that Microsoft has truly something to worry about in the next coming years.
