Question. RH SuSe Mandrake have the easiest interface for windo$e folk
to use. It's been a looong time since I've played with any of the
others. I wholy agree that RH et.al is really ticking me off. They
seem to have lost the whole concept of open source. Which of the
alternative distro's could be used in a business environment where every
one knows windo$e of some ilk and few, if any, have a clue as to setup
or changes to be made in anything else? This is the smaller net where
the "pointy haired boss" has designated one of the secrataries as
Sys-admin to be done in her spare time. With the statement "No I don't
want no stinkin' support".
