My two cents: Red Hat 7.2 has the xfs journalled file system which is nice. Mandrake 8.0/8.1 can be secured rigorously after install by using ipfw. I prefer Mandrake, I like security over speed since I run on junk boxes anyway. --On Saturday, March 16, 2002 3:09 PM -0800 Raistlin Majere <raistlin@e-raist.com> wrote: > Mike, > > I've ran a few version of linux and found I get along with > redhat.
