flavors of linux (advantages/disadvantages)
Knowing that there are at least 5 different flavors of Linux I'm curious the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. Could someone provide these details between at least 5 of the major flavors of Linux (Redhat, Mandrake, Debian, Slackware, Corel Linux) 25 pts for each one after these 5 if you know of more flavors that I missed. I'm just trying to see which ones are better for what, etc... Thanks for your help. :0)

Corel Linux was a short lived Debian based distribution. It's main claim to fame was that it installed with literally 3 clicks.
It is no longer in development, Corel took down linux.corel.com last week. Also, given that most if not all of the packages included in it have been upgraded it can now be considered dead.

I gave you 125 pts with this question. What were you expecting?

First of all, ignore that number. :0)
A few months ago, EE had a system where a user would have to pay points to view previously asked questions and the ponits value you see at the top is how much they would have to pay (it is 10% the value of the question).
That just means that is how much it would cost for another user to view the question. This is not in effect anymore and probably will be removed shortly. You received 500 expert points in your profile for my question. (click on your name above a comment to view your profile)
You probably wonder why so much. The reason is that it depends on the question grade that was given I gave you an "A" for excellent which means take the value of the question and multiply it by 4.
A short summary of grading is as follows:
A = <question value * 4>
B = <question value * 3>
C = <question value * 2>
and that gives you that amount in expert points. Anything you don't understand just post and I will try to answer you. Thanks again for the help! :0)
