Hi,
I'm choosing amongst (mainly) the latest Redhat distribution (7.0), Mandrake (when is 7.2 Final due?), and SuSE(7.0). My considerations are:
* Updated hardware support (favors newer distros)
* Pentium-class optimizations -- only Mandrake mentions optimizing for i586, I suspect the others have generic i386 code. Anybody know?
* Comes with the latest XFree 4.0 or 4.0.1 (Redhat and SuSE)
* Comes with NVIDIA drivers (I think SuSE includes the latest, .95).
Any comments or suggestions? Please reply soon, because I hastily ordered Redhat7 from BUY.COM; I still have time to cancel as it's backordered.
Thanks!
