Which of the two is a better environment for learning more about linux? I do have some experience in linux, I know how to navigate etc... But I want to learn how to manage it, and how to setup servers using it. So from your experience which wouldbe better?

Thanks,
Dan

It is all personal preferance, I perfer mandrake myself. I have 3 linux servers here and the one I built is mandrake the two that were here before me are Redhat. There are diffrences but nothing dramatic.

Thanks, no right or wrong answer but I was just waiting for the first person to answer. I took a look at slackware, and, it's not very GUI oriented. Mandrake 8 is much better in my opinion but I don't like RedHat. Thanks again.
