...are bloated pieces of *nixcrap bugware, i tryed both distros, on a MSI K7T266 Pro2 with a AMD 1600+ & 256 megs DDR RAM NVIDIA GeForce2 MX200, CreativeLabs audio PCI 128, drake8.2 would install just fine but get kernel panic during the first boot, drake's tech says to pass this parameter to lilo.conf "linux=nobiospnp" it would boot after this but ran slow & the CPU ran @ nearly 100% all the time...
SuSE7.3 would just garely get installed at all, and it would boot but was the same as drake, (slow & buggy)...
as i type this i am using Redhat7.1 with KDE & mozillaRC1 and it runs exellent!!! even the fonts are good...
so as far as my personal experience with.RPM based distros Redhat wins on my desktop...
but as far as my personal opinion as far as Linux distros go is Slackware8 seems to be my favorite, it does take a little more manuel tweaking & tuning and manually editing a few.config files & scripts to get good ol Slack the way i like it but was well worth it...
for any one wanting to take those first steps in Getting Linux installed & running i allways reccomend Redhat 7.1\7.2\7.3 because it has the user friendly design but not all the redundit hand-holding distro specifc bug infested crapware that drake & suse have, for example in drake why have harddrake for configurung hardeware when there allready is Kudzu running at boot for configuring hardware, plus many more too numerous to mention...
