OT: Linux Distrobutions?

[Julian Field]

The free version of RedHat will continue, but will be now known as "Fedora"
(the type of hat) and will be updated a few times each year. They don't
guarantee how long support will be provided for any given Fedora release,
but I think it's what most people will migrate their boxes to.

Lots of people on this list are bound to vote for Debian, but personally I
have always found it to be the "enthusiast's" distro. Usual rules on flame
wars and religious debates apply :)
SuSE is a good alternative to RedHat.
