-    Don't be put off by the name. I've had less trouble with it than with RedHat. Updates are timely and the installs work. New releases contain the most recent STABLE version available, and the price is certainly reasonable. Unfortunately there's no AS400 version as yet, but there is a S390 version, so maybe it will happen. It's a great distro for peripheral and desktop systems.

Is Redhat even there yet? Pete Hall
