Redhat 9 ... on which have started learning linux from 2010..and prepared for RHCE on rhel 5.4..
But I like to have redhat9 still ..
Redhat was good till was open-source version REDHAT..but on RHEL version lot of packages required registration ...
Today am prefering to go with CentOS instead ...

Redhat, whatever version was around in the summer of 1997 when I left university, I missed Solaris big time. Smilie I had Redhat on a machine with a dual boot with Windows NT. NT would give me the blue screen of death on a semi-regular basis. A year or so later the machine got a hard disk reformat, a clean Redhat install and became a dedicated database server - during the next 2 years it was on the whole time, rebooted only on a dozen or so occasions, and never ever crashed despite its low power (it had no desktop installed) and our throwing rather a lot of database activity at it.

Hi ,
I have started with slackware 3.0 kernell 1.2.13 . I remember how difficult was to install this version of linux. I still have the cd set , the original ones dated 1995.

Debian, still with but getting tired with its crap and maybe will develop own operating system. A lot of hard work, but from my experience I know everything is just question of time. For someone who only takes basics everything might be OK, but when digging deep, you want more and better.
