I've tried Slackware, Red Hat (via Caldera), and Debian [Oh, and of course, DOS, Windoze-3.1, Windoze-95, but not NT yet]. I'm sold on Debian and looks as though they are growing faster than the other Linux distributions right now. I really like being able to update in a matter of about an hour (very painlessly). Also, Debian is very stable, yet just enough on the cutting edge to get a taste of what is 'out there'. -- /------------------------------------------------------------------\ | James D.
