Re: Linux Distribution Recomendation

["Brian Shaw" <bshaw () vsvinc com>]

I like Slackware myself ( http://www.slackware.com/ ).  It is as close to pure
Linux as you can get.  It's getting easier to manage also.  As far as security
goes, that depends largely on the admin but, Slackware requires far fewer
patches and upgrades than more well known varients because they don't rewrite
everything before releasing it.

Good luck.
