Since Caldera firmly placed their daggers, choosing a distro that I can 
recommend to newbies has become an almost impossible task. Mandrake keeps 
loosing basic usb function but return on the next boot (doesn't find it at 
boot up but finds it on the next boot) Redhat has become another M$ meaning 
you can not just go to their site and upgrade packages. You have to register 
on their site and create a profile with a list of installed packages (sound 
familiar?) along with your name phone number address and then you'll get 
bumped because the server is to busy to accommodate non-licensed users. Basic 
printer setup sucks under RH 7.3. 
 I'm setting up gentoo on another partion and will soon have it to where its 
to my liking but I would not recommend it to a newbie. I guess next I'll try 
Slackware and SuSe and see if they can be setup without a lot of 
hand-holding.
