SUSE 9.0 PRO is the BOMB, I am seriously considering tossing away windwos, and re formatting my main drive, it has everything I have ever wated to learn or try on the software sellection...Wuuh

Doesn't suse do stuff in non-"standard" ways? like it's boot script isn't "rc.local", it's like "boot.somethingorother"...

I'm looking for the most standard no-surprises linux, if anyone knows what that is let me know (fedora?) I want vanillux.

that would most probably be Slackware or FreeBSD Bog.
Red Hat is a major offender of "tweaking" the OS, but isn't that what linux is all about?
I happen to like SuSE alot myself, I feel they are doing alot to move linux into the mainstream/desktop market with 9.0. and the ease of configuration.

Just what do you consider a ...........no-surprise?

Thanks. But freebsd isn't linux, right? It's BSD.... I guess I might try slackware. I'll might end up going to fedora since rhat is more often used for servers (of the linux flavors), and server admin is mainly what I want to learn more linux stuff for...

thanks

well, no-surprises is the absence of surprises (or in this case, the fewest surprises of all the linuxes). What's a surprise? Well like the example I gave where suse uses a different file instead of rc.local which most other linuxes do.
