I would suggest Mandrake, because that's what I have used, and it seems
straight forward, bung in the cd and click till it's installed, any problems
with updates is kind of good, because it requires you to actually do a bit
of reading. (might have been fixed now)

I thought I'd drop a question in while im here, if im using something like
mandrake and I was after a very bare install for a gateway/firewall type
machine, do you just go through the installation as normal and at the module
screen just deselect everything in sight (apart from what you need) ??



Please don't moan/groan at my disclaimer... not my choice, or my
inappropriate use of apostrophes or that im using outlook or.... :-)

Cheers,
Kristian
