[CVALE] Best FOSS RPM Distro

[Ian Sterling]

Some folks will say SuSE, and while it's pretty and all, I'm not very
familiar with it at all.  I'd say go ahead and try Fedora Core 6.
It's a bit quirky on the installation - install just the base desktop
and add in later or it'll crash - but once it's installed, it's peachy
keen jellybean!

I haven't played with Mandrake in about four or six years, so I don't
have an answer for you about that.  And last time I heard about
Caldera, they were turning into the Anti-Christ, so I don't recommend
them.  Other than that, I don't personally know of too many RPM-based
distros.  (I try to stay away from RPM)
