A collegue at work (a very good C++ programmer, by the way) asked me how to
install Linux, and where to get it.. I find this a hard question to answer.
Personally I have been using slackware for some years now, and I have no need
to try any other distro. But I don't know if this is what I should advice to
other people who explicitly ask for something 'windows-like' and 'easy to
install'.
I have suse 6.3 cdroms lying around, but things move so fast here that this
seems like way too old. I should probably advise him to try redhat, but I never
installed that. Does anyone know how redhat can be installed from the web (I
don't have a cdrom). Can I download an iso image and burn it? Are there up to
date images on linux.org.il? Is it easy to install redhat from the web or did
they make it extra hard, trying to get people to buy a cd? And should I use the
latest version or not?
Thanks,
Christoph
