[This is weird - talkin' about Linux on CLUG. Hey Ronan, it looks like our

Again, it's more X I'm talking about. A lot of the people who look down on
RedHat would appear to be hardcore command line users, and they seem to lean
towards Slackware. Or Debian in some cases. That said, I use RedHat from the
command line every single day, and I've never had any problems. But I really
don't have a point of reference, since I've only ever used three Linux distros.

I'm getting a new rig shortly though, and setting up a wee LAN here, so I get to
try OpenBSD, and all the Linux distros I can beg, borrow or steal will be
installed on this box. I'm looking forward to comparing them all. But RedHat
will probably still be the primary distro for the web server. And, lax an' all
as I am to admit it, Windows will still be my primary OS, on the new rig.

But I'll have more time to look at Linux office suites, so maybe it won't be
long before Linux gets to play with the 768 megs of RAM I can't wait to play
with! :)
