I have used RedHat for 6 months. It never was a fun system. Slackware will always
remain my favourite.
I selected SuSE, since it is the only other alternative, that is bring more releases
and appears to follow the
POSIX standards. I am happy with it. I found RH users don't want to think much, just
as Windows users.
If you want to love *nix, you have to learn to love command line interface. Expect
Slackware, Debian and to
some extent SuSe, maintain the old fashioned command line interface and have the SVR5
and BSD based
configuration files structure. The rest are going for strictly GUI based interface,
which does not appeal to me.
My .02 cents. The original note and this note are not to meant to start a flame war.

though... I've used Redhat and I prefer it over Windows. The gripe that I've heard
about Redhat is that they
list some Hardware as supported when they (redhat) know it isn't. Did you read the
comment from the guy in
the UK about how they are starting to write Redhat only programs?
