[ILUG] Favourite flavours - Update.

[Andoni]

Hi Rick,

Just to respond to your point about this being a useless question.  I may
have experience in RedHat 6.0 but not in any other distribution so I can't
know the merits/demerits of each one.

I also don't have the ability to install more than one distribution
(specially if I have to pay for them) so I have to know before I install
anything exactly (or close enough) which one is right for my purpose.

I take your point about looking up the news web sites but I don't want to
post questions to them as they incur Spam mail by the truck-load.

Thanks for your help though, you did made a useful comment.

So, ok, if I have used this service incorrectly I apologise.  I am new to it
and should have read a few more archives first.

Andoni.
