itself correctly for my soundcard, but at the end of the day I felt safer with Red Hat (being a relative newbie to Linux).
Now this surprises me: every time I've seen a RedHat release, it has been broken in some way(s) and there's no sign that things are getting any better with it. The documentation that comes with it has also left me unimpressed, but that's a general problem apart from Debian (which is too steep a learning curve for most newbies, IMO) and SuSE. Why do you feel safer with it? Is it just because an increasing number of authors are documenting RedHat instead of Linux? (Don't get me wrong: everyone is free to use whatever they want, but I've normally pointed newbies away from RedHat towards SuSE or Mandrake because RedHat is usually broken. If that's wrong, I probably ought to know why.) -- | MJR "Everything is planned, from -- crime to leisure time."
