[linux-help] Re: Distros ( was Ethernet card setup / Gateway system)

["Sudharsha" <adithya@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi,
In my openien I have not tried Debian but for me redhat works fine and also
the support for Redhat on the net is enourmous.
There for I think you should be able to work out redhat with out no
problems.
But I may be wrong since I have not tried Debian.
Regards,
Sudharsha.
