(Because it's exactly what I say to people!) :-) My family was using Ubuntu, but I've switched everyone over to fedora, which I use on my $work laptop. I'd agree that RHEL isn't really suitable (even though that is on my $work workstation). Mint seems like a reasonable suggestion, otherwise I'd be recommending Debian if I wasn't at $work since that's what's on all my personal machines. > | Ian! D.
