Re: Linux Distribution Recomendation

[Michael Gale <michael () bluesuperman com>]

Hello,

        Depending on hardware and experience I suggest either a BSD system,
(OpenBSD or FreeBSD) or slackware. 

The company I work uses slackware linux since I got to pick which distro
we used ;). 

The only reason I did not pick OpenBSD was because I am more familiar
with slackware and more comfortable. 

It is stable, secure and easy to maintain.

Michael.
