Redhat no longer relies on Python 1.5.2. As long as you use Red Hat 8.x,
you should have no problem with this. Don't know much about Debian, but I
do think that both Mandrake, RedHat and SuSE are easier to get started with
than Debian if you are a newbie. Debian suppsedly runs very well once it's
installed, but to get there takes a while. I haven't used Slackware since
version 2.3... I think you will be fine with Mandrake.
