I think I'd go with Debian. I tried to do the "minimal" install from a CD, and then upgrade to the lastest versions before, and haven't had too much success with rpm based systems. The dependency checking seems pretty miserable. And for those using Ximian, Ximian seems to expect "standard" install, or else whines about missing packages that it can't install. -- Brent Metzler | AIM: bmetzl1999 brent at bmetzler.org | Y! : bmetzl1999 612-270-0199 | ICQ: 43952639
