its not like your choosing a flavor of windows, linux is linux is linux...........you can take redhat and turn it into mandrake, same goes for all of them, you can with some work change everything completely in any distro...........or use an existing distro to create a new one
my advice, quit fooling around, use slackware and learn linux instead of jumping from distro to distro to distro, cause that doesnt solve anything........like I said above, it isnt windows
