</div>If you never want to have to reinstall again, take a look at Debian.<br>
If you're more comfortable with RPMs, look at something like Fedora<br>
Core. FC 10 will take some getting used to starting with upstart and<br>
the new /etc/event.d nonsense instead of the standard inittab startup.<br>
<br>
Advantages and disadvantages to be had no matter what you choose.<br>
OTOH, Slackware is always a good choice.<br>
<br>
Let the religious wars begin ;-)</blockquote><div><br>Is that "straight" Debian? Or one of the many distributions that are based on Debian?<br><br>I haven't had to do updates in the past, so apt-get or rpm is the same to me. <br>
