Well, Fedora is ALOT! like red hat, yea? well red hats just like Mandrake, so id like a different one tbh

Ok, so you are looking for a non-RPM-based distro.

Have you looked at distrowatch.com?

Perhaps SuSE, or a Debian-based distro? Maybe Slack. Debian and Slack aren't as much work to set up as people believe, but you will do a lot more than just click the "next>" button. ;)

are there any other good open source things like linux?

Hmmm... Outside Linux?

Perhaps FreeBSD?

It really depends. I like slackware andn gentoo alot, but my printer won't work with them....I am still trying to figure out how to make it though....I know it is possible. Once I can figure out how to get my printer to work in slackware I am going to switch to gentoo as I have found that anything that will work on slackware (excluding tgzs) will most of the time work with gentoo if I have gentoo set right. Plus a astage one gentoo has been the fastest thing to ever run on my computer.
