I dont have any answer to your question, but I know about the frustration having to choose between different distributions []/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/]
I have never used linux, and now I have decided to give it a go, but the more I look into it, and the more I learn, the harder time I have to choose.. should I go for redhat? mandrake? SuSE? debian? etc etc etc..
maybe im making a to big deal out of this..it´s" jus"t different distributions..but it gives me a hard time..
I´m also gonna have (i think) apache, mysql and all that installed, to try stuff for w3t "local", also gonna have it as an "ordinary" desktop, playing around, learning and things like that. The thing I know (I think) is that im gonna buy a distribution, so I get it on cd, and get "everything" at one time, get some documention/manual in my hand and so on. but that´s it.
then when I finally made up my mind about distribution, I´ll have to choose between GNOME, KDE and the rest of them.. oh boy.. []/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/]
