RE: aWhich Linux should I get?

FWIW - I installed yesterday, Corellinux v1.0 just to see what it looked like. I was very impressed with the install. Even easier than winblows9x. I believe there were two questions asked me during the install. I asked for a custom install rather than desktop, or server. I'm sure because of

Ok, I see what you mean about the single user mode. I wasn't too fond of the layout when I did it originally, but being a newbie and piecing together what I could from the book and this list, that is what I came up with. Now, like you say, the only way to cleanly recover is start from scratch.
