[linux-help] Re: new distro for newbie

[Ben Bunck <bbunck@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mandrake 8.0 and Redhat 7.1 would probably both work.  I've used both 
distrobutions in the past, and I think their both very much made with the 
newbie in mind.  I believe both of these newest releases have an assisted 
firewall setup as part of the installation, one of the many things newbies 
often overlook.  If you would like a copy of either discset, email me 
directly at this address.
