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.  I'll order it then and put it on my G3
at work so I can at least dual-boot into a real OS on the left side of
my desk.  My PC tri-boots Win98/NT4/Linux.


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???"
Or is the software usually written with the one version in mind.

I need a new hard disk, 1.6GB doesn't cut it anymore! Was considering
going for a Win95/Linux.....Keep Win95 and all of the software on an
8.4gig of its own, and chuck all of the Linux stuff on the 1.6 gig.....

(...) It should work on both. In some cases, you'll need to do more tweaking if you're using a distribution other than the one the app was targeted at. (26 years ago, 10-Dec-98, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
