With Distribution do you use and with one is the best???
There are many of linux Distributions!I do not know with one is the best to use it?Lots of people says that RedHat is the best then Mandrake then Dabian and Slack?What do you guys think about this?!?!?! What are the main difference between those Distributions?
I've tried RedHat, Mandrake, Suse, Slackware and Debian (I've also tried some BSD's but that's off-topic here). Each of them has its pros and cons. Each of them has tools to configure the system (except Slackware: you have to configure it by hand). For a beginner, i would say : "Use RedHat, Mandrake or Suse". For a more experienced user : "Use a Debian" (the one i'm using at the moment). And if you want to have your system entirely in control, use a Slackware. My preferred are Debian and Slackware. But it's a matter of taste ... Try them all and make your own opinion ...
