I have been looking at Linux Distros for a couple of weeks and decided
on Mandrake. I haven't ordered it yet, but I will next week.
Since my bank balance is pretty ugly ... I bought 2 second hand PC's.
(PII 200MMX, 64MB, 3.2 GB HDD - base only for Aus $65 each! should
be ok for hacking around)
I'll load Mandrake on one and FreeBSD on the other.
Debian is considered the "most" open source (or pure) distribution as
it is developed 100% by a community of people and are a "not for profit"
organisation. I have heard it is very stable (ie. all packages are
well tested) ... but the install isn't as nice as some of the other
distros ... hence my decision to go mandrake).

I have run eu on redhat before (7.0 I think) so I assume Mandrake will
work without problems (since Mandrake is based on redhat).
