A
distribution of the
Linux Operating System. Developed by
Red Hat,
inc. By far the
best of all of their
previous distributions, RH 6.2 comes with a pre-compiled
kernel of version 2.2.14. The
kudzu hardware manager is great, and is very good at detecting and configuring new
hardware. Comes
standard with many
desktop environments including (of course)
KDE and
Gnome. Red Hat is not the
best of all distributions, but it is very
easy to
use. The
X-based
graphical installation is wonderful. Setup detects nearly any piece of supported hardware in the machine (including most monitors!)
RPM (the Red Hat Package Manager) makes installing new
software very easy as well.
Most people hate Red Hat's distributions, but if you are looking for a great, easy-to-use distribution, check out Red Hat Linux 6.2 (But we all know Slackware reigns supreme!)
