Anyone ever used TurboLinux?

[eyor]

Right now I have CDs with Red Hat 6.2 and Turbo Linux on them... has anyone ever used Turbo Linux? I don't know anything about it...
Also, I have heard that Mandrake is good... is it worth it to download it? What kind of differences are there in the different kinds of Linux?
Thanks

If you've never done Linux before, I'd recommend Mandrake. I was able to install it with very minimal hassle. The only thing it didn't recognize was one of my NICs.

It's a very easy 'flavor' to learn.

I do have experience with Solaris and Free BSD, and I have another computer that runs only linux with no GUI, but it does not get used as much as this computer.

What is the difference between mandrake and red hat?

I started out with Turbo Linux 6.0 Workstation on my computer, since I got it free from my school minus the applications cd. Pretty much it is the same as Red Hat with some changes here and there. As far as I know not many Turbo Linux users out there, but then again it's so similar to Red Hat. Currently using Red Hat 6.2 because I was too lazy to download and compile new updates for Turbo Linux when my friend gave me a copy of Red Hat 6.2 after a month of Turbo Linux.
