Which Linux distribution did you switch to when RH when it went "Fedora"? And what is the reason for your choosing that distribution?

I have not made a formal move in the sense that I still run my RH 8 and 9 but I have gotten myself Mandrake 9.2 and will be changing to that soon.

It is a tough call between Slack and mandrake and I chose Mandrake 'cause I cud lay my hands on to it. But I will install Slack as soon as I get it, along with my other Linux distros.

Fedora, of course!!

up2date can use apt-get and yum repos to keep my system up to date, I can yum install <package> and all dependencies are taken care of, it looks great, runs great, and I haven't had a bug or crash yet.

I noticed that it is not an option. Why not?!?

Moved: More suitable in our Distro forum. Regards.

well I cut my penguin teeth on rh starting about two years ago but was actually trying to break with them for a while... Mandrake was nice but SuSE is just a little better. YaST2 "install software" uses rpms but resolves dependencies very well, kind of like urpmi in Mandrake.

I didn't only switch because of the change, but mostly because I gew tired of it: andit was the the drop of water that...

Still running RH9. No need to switch yet. Use apt to keep updated. Will try a couple other distros until I find one to use and learn for awhile.
