I have already had to call MS to beg them to let me run a purchased (Of Course) XP CD. I was building a system, changed a vidcard and added a SATA drive.

Well, I have Red Hat on two systems now, so it looks like it's time to really get to know it better.

What other flavors of Linux do people suggest?

Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 (SLED 10).

It is really a tight and well thought-out distro. I have it on several machines now and I am ecstatic with it.

I am constantly having to tweak and prod my Windows XP machines to keep them going and on task--particularly with security updates and related patches. But I never realized how much babysitting my Windows XP machines require until I installed SLED 10 on some machines.

Unlike the Windows XP machines, the SLED 10 machines are rock solid and completely self-sufficient. They never complain, never make demands. They just do perfectly and efficiently exactly what they've been asked to do, first time, every time, around the clock.
