OT: "Best" Linux Distro?

[Curt at Atari Museum]

I've been using Redhat and Mandrake.    Redhat has a few more 
legacy/backwards compatible utils for data access that Mandrake will 
have to have added on later on you own (if you needed them).    Redhat 
also installs a lot quicker in most cases for me.

I occassionally use BSD for a few things, but mostly I've been sticking 
with Redhat.   I've only installed up to 9.2 (I think...) and I know 
there are a few newer distributions out there since then.     Before 
that, I was using TurboLinux which I really like, it was very fast and 
at the time was one of the better multi-processor supporting Linux's out 
there (this was like 4+ yrs ago mind you...) and I had that running my 
webserver for quite a while and it ran very well and had some great 
monitoring and management tools.
