Gary, Depending on your circumstances, I'd get either the Standard
distro or
the Deluxe Workstation. The difference is mostly convenience; you can
download
the PowerTools cd image from Red Hat if you've got a good net
connection, such
as cable or DSL, and the same for StarOffice 5.2. Server is probably an
overkill, unless you are intending to set yourself up and run a serious
website
on a full time basis.
More accurate advice would depend on what you have for hardware, what
you have
for an internet connection (dialup, cable, DSL, etc.) and how you intend
to
use it (personal, software development, web server, etc.).
