Default Good Linux alternative for Windows 9x/ME era computers.

I am sure there are others. Anyone else had some good experiences
recently with a version Linux?


I use different operating systems. Some of my boxes still run wfw3.11
and they have network and internet connection.

But in the meantime I spend most of my time with different Linux
versions. All these machines have network and internet connection, and
so every Linux box can communicate with every wfw3.11 box.

This is really funny for web development, for example, where I write
the perl and html code and run it on one of the Linux machines,
connected from one of the wfw3.11 boxes :-)

The most preferred Linux version here are Mandrake 10.1 and Mandriva
2009.0. I already tried other distros like FreeBSD, Debian, SuSE,
Caldera, Redhat and enven on one of my machines there's still Ubuntu,
but I don't like it much. I tmakes heavy use of "sudo" which, in my
opinion, is far from professional working.

One of Mandrake's / Mandriva's big advantages is the very convenient
partitioning and the professional way of configuring. - It simply
works :-)

Best regards,

Markus
