I was suprised by linux RH acutally. I had an old 386/33 w/120 mg drive lying about doing nothing so as an excersise decided to install RH v4.2 on it via ftp. Took 2 trys to figure out how they name their partions but once I got that and the setup asked what kind of FS I wanted partiton to be I listed them and there was about 15+ types. Everything from OS/2 to BSD to DOS, Linux, I think there was mention of VMS in there to. Alot of of esoteric ones but very flexible is right when it comes to types of partitions.
