Re: which distribution to use?

[Brett Allen <allenb@networld.com>]

Matt,
	I have been a system admin for 9+ years now but that has been in an NT 
environment.  Although I do have one Linux server at work, it has a very 
small task.  My work has not embraced Linux at all although over the last two 
years I find most of the "Major" new systems from the Corp. office being done 
on Solaris.  
	That said, I use Linux when I get home.  I use it to learn and have a 
refreshing change. I have been 'messing" with Linux for 3 or 4 years but I 
started using it last year as my only system for internet at home because of 
a virus problem on my Windows box and find it a joy.  I have installed all 
the major distro's but someware down the road I found I liked SuSE and have 
stayed with it.  Maybe it was because I broke a few things and with Lawson's 
help and others here on the list I got a few things fixed and learned a few 
of the extra tools SuSE gives you (each distro has there own it seems).  
	I guess what I am trying to say is that I have found that I really have 
little interest of late to get into the guts of Linux.  Did at one time, but 
that has faded.  What I really want is to come home and do a little surfing 
and read my email and keep track of a news group or two.  I fix stuff all day 
at work and just like to relax when I get home.  Other than do a online 
update once in a while or maybe the Version 8.0 upgrade at the first of this 
week, all I have had to do with this distro is enjoy.

	Your interest and mileage my vary....
