Distributions?

1999-10-12 Thread Jim Clark

Slightly off topic, but still related.
I use RH 6.0 on my work machine.  I am going to install Linux on my home
PC.  I am eager to try a different distribution.  I wonder if anyone has
tried more than one distribution with GIMP?  And has opinions (never
seen a shortage of opinions on this list!) about whether one is better
than another for using Linux primarily for the GIMP?

I am using Slackware on most of my machines, RH 6.0 on a notebook and have
tried SUSE once. I still like Slackware, because you get a basic
foundation and can install everything you need in /usr/local and/or /opt,
just as you like. 
Rumours tell me that debian is also quite good. But you should be happy
with RH.
