Switching to Redhat

[John Seth]

I use RH at work, not by choice, as I prefer Slackware, and cannot wait 
for Slackware 9 to get out of beta.  Then I can replace the one system 
I'm using at home that has RH 8 on it.  I feel RH is bloatware, and is 
quickly gaining the feel of M$ in it's business deals as well.  I wanted 
to install Linux on a 500MB HD, I just barely made it with RH, using up 
430MB for a base install.  I wiped it, and installed Slackware 8.1... 
barely 110MB.  Not to mention the fact I can, if I feel like it, still 
install Slackware onto my old Compaq Prosignia server via floppy, 
something RH gave up long ago.

I don't think my comments had much to do with yours though ;)  Except 
that I don't support the war, or the president.  I didn't vote for him, 
and I don't believe in him.  But that's my sole opinion.  If I liked 
Mandrake or SuSe, I wouldn't ditch them, well, except Mandrake.  Again, 
just my half a penny worth, if that.
