	[Kapoor, Nishikant]  I have installed Slackware, Redhat, TurboLinux
and Caldera. Caldera seems to have come up with a fancy installation
interface in their latest release (eDesktop 2.4) but I would still pick
Redhat for its simple installation interface and the support for a wide
range of devices.
