I see I wasn't clear enough.  I don't have to do the install.  Professionals
will do that.  I only have to choose from the options of Slackware or
Mandrake.  I've never used either, so I have no familiarity.  I have some
reference texts on Red Hat, and I understand that Mandrake is closest to
that, but I'm hoping for some more information on compatibility with
"standard" ( ;-}9  <== tongue in cheek) Linux layout & configuration.  I'm
most familiar with SuSE and Gentoo for my own experience, have built an LFS
and installed Red Hat.
