I would recommend debian. Firstly, all the support is done by these mailing lists: debian is a community project, not a for-profit organisation. Secondly, we have a more logical filesystem than RH. Thirdly, dpkg is IMHO superiour to rpm. > Allmost debian list is about problems of installation. > Would it be so difficult to install Debian? Not usually: it's just people who install debian successfully don't post to say "I installed OK". There's enough traffic here already :) > Looking from outside, as I do now, it seems that everybody is working to > improove debian but no one is working something with debian (except servers, > I've heard they are very good on Linux). How do you mean working something with debian? I have a full-time debian box here on which I do all my academic work, as well as it being a server for http, ftp and so on. I have about 15 users too.
