(...) Hmm. I doubt they're the full cd's. Lemme pop my RedHat 5.1 and SuSe 5.0 CD's in my tray and check... Lesse: RH 5.1 (btw, 5.2 is out now.): 577 Megs. Suse 5.2:: 624 megs Slackware 3.5: 645 megs... Anyway, I doubt you'll see two full distro's (...) (26 years ago, 8-Dec-98, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Go with RedHat. For the novice the installation can't be beat. I'm still a novice, so I can say that. I'm waiting a few weeks for Linuxppc to come out with R5.

(...) Ok, I had a look. The directory named "Suse" weighs in at 448MB, with the total space used on the CD being 648MB. How much is actually all Suse and the rest DOS/Win format support files I don't know. 'Tis 5.2, kernel 2.0.34. Does this seem (...) (26 years ago, 9-Dec-98, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) I know there are quite a few different flavours of the stuff, so my question would be, "Does software, such as SIAG office, work on both???"
