there is no better my friend. they are, in essence, the
same. the commands, the programs, the security, everything.
essentially the same. the only baddie i keep seeing in
RedHat is they mess up the compiler a lot. so, unless
you're developing a lot, that won't matter.
linux is linux is linux...no matter if it's slack, redhat,
mandrake, whatever. i'd go with either. linuxbusca runs on
mandrake and debian...and while it's nothing pretty to look
at yet, mandrake does the email, web server, and DSL
gateway. pretty awesome.
just my two cents.
