[NTLUG:Discuss] New Computer -- which

[Paul Ingendorf]

Just to show my support for the French I would say try Fedora core 3.  It's
the obvious choice if your comfortable with the way redHat 9 was and you
would like to keep it in the same family.

Subject: [NTLUG:Discuss] New Computer -- which


I do not know much about the differences between the different
distributions of Linux.

I want to add a Linux as a workstation in a network with 5 Windows 98 and 1
Windows XP computer.  There is no server.

I liked Redhat 9 because at the end of installation it was "automagically"
on a windows network and I could see the shared folders on the Windows
machines.  And transfer files back and forth with a GUI.

In addition the XP computer and one of the Windows 98 computers have the
printer I intend to connect to for printing.

I do not want to start a distribution war, but should I go with Redhat 9
knowing that it is the end of the line, or should I go to a different
distribution.  My main interest is to keep the system up to date easily,
and not have to get down in the guts of the OS to make something work.

Redhat 9 is the only distribution I have played with at all, and I am not
very familiar with it.

Kip
