Re:Try Mandrake, Redhat, Suse or Debian first. (Score 1)

Exactly. And therefore it goes in a direction that is opposite to the one I favour: I want linux to eventually replace M$, and we are not going to impress Jo Windows'user with distros like Gentoo. However, only a few days after my previous post I am beginning to understand why a distro like Gentoo is good for power users: you create your own OS. I am beginning to do it myself by picking and mixing between the many redhat compatible distros.
