Caldera was recently @ the PC Expo in NY and they handed out free CDs of their latest rev and the install was amazing. I haven't seen a good GUI install til now. Its pretty funny, as it unpacks files you play tetris. The only thing it lacks is configurability. The only negative thing to say is the fact that you don't have control of what packages are installed.
I was a former Redhatter also and I've switched to SuSE @ 5.3 and I haven't looked back since. You get all the same features, but easier package management during the install. Redhat is really disappointing with them charging over $50 for its distribution. You get more packages and great flexablity with SuSE. One last note, I recently went to the PC Expo in NY and there was a linux pavilion (yay!) funded by RH, but unfortunatly they offered nothing but pamphlets. I walked around to Caldera and they offered a free CD. I think that was a great move by Caldera and also that Open Linux 2.2 looks great. First GUI install I've had for linux.
I agree, FreeBSD and Linux RULES!!! I'm glad to see that it is hitting the spotlight a lot more ofter. Now if we could just be a little nicer to each other......
