Sorry Nav - I have to agree with Eduardo. RedHat do not create a robust 
product - they certainly create a corporatly friendly product - and it works 
at the level that a typical enterprise may require with callpacks, security 
updates and the like - but it is certainly not the best Linux out there IMHO.

I disagree that Mandrake has bad design - yes it has some silly design errors, 
but it has put Linux in a better position for new users. I knowmany people 
who can use Mankdrake ok, but have trouble with other distro's.

Xandros and Lycoris look interesting also.

	Jono
