All said and done, you should be able to accomplish the same ends
with any of the distros. However, each has their good and bad
points.
RH - This is a solid commercial distro. I like the fact that
most services come pre-configured with reasonable defaults. In
a commercial environment where I have to build multiple boxes,
this makes the work quick. It has lots of packages. The detraction
is that it is becomming rather bloated and difficult to install
on anthing less than a 1Gig HD. They have custom tweaks on some
packages that can be anoyoing until you get in their mindset.
Caldera - Have little experience with this, but installation is easy
for someone that has not a clue as to what their doing, I.E. this
one is newbie material. It's not as bloated as RH. It's strong point
is certified Novel compatibility if you need that. Caldera is a
Novel partner.
Debina - This is the classic GNU. I've never used or seen it, but
don't take that as negative. Supossedly, they are doing some really
nice things with it from what I hear.
Corel
Stormix - don't know.
