Desktop --- what to try, Redhat or FreeBSD

Now I'm really sick of win.. installing a scanner shoot my w2k. Only removing the servicepack 3 and replacing the up to date files with the original ones made it run again.

So I want to try Linux on one of my machines. What do you think I should go for. FreeBSD or Redhat? My servers all run on FreeBSD so that'll be an advantage. However I'm looking more for a reliable home solution.

Thanks in advance

FreeBSD is better than Redhat, but Redhat is much easier, especially if you use it like you would use Windows.

Oh, and much more rpms can be found for redhat, which takes away some of the "fun" of installing stuff.

No hints needed. It's like installing windows, but easier.

hahaha.. OK, I'll give FreeBSD a try. I don't mind if it's harder to install as long as it's reliable and stable
