Which s better for my setup?

Mandrake? Debian? RedHat?

What are the differences?

I am running a Linux box on an NT Domain as a File/Print server. Currently it is up as a RedHat 6.2 box.

Thanks!

Why not check out the Distro Choice NHF?

what IS your setup?

ie
are all you using it for is a file / print server?

if so, why would you want to change from rh 6.2?

ami missing something? is something wrong with your current setup?

Don't get me wrong, my current setup is running fine. My company is looking at implementing more RedHat servers, and at the helm is yours truly. I was just thinking that if there are better Distros, maybe I should try one of those next rather than bringing up another RedHat 6.2 server.
Right now, we are only looking at File/Print servers. The one running RedHat 6.2 is a Compaq Proliant 1000. That is probably the oldest box we have in service, everything else would be newer than that (But still a compaq server - that is all we use)
