Personnally i use slackware 7.1, because i have the feeling of learning something when i want to use a new feature :}

Redhat was difficult for experienced user like me because of its messed up file architecture and dumb rc files and stupid GUI tools, I wonder how easy it is going to be for a newbie ?

For what you want to do I suggest you get slackware or build your own linux distibution.

To get the best of both get SuSe 7.0 Professional.

this provides a simple easy to use set of tools for the begginer
but also does not try to hide the more advanced tools for the expreianced user like mandrake and others.

edwin
