rikytik is an unknown quantity at this point
I've just finished trying Caldera, which had the easiest install to date and mounted my #2 hd, whereas I had trouble with SuSE 8.0, RedHat 7.3 and Mandrake 8.2.

My biggest problem in getting started was I didn't know how to format my drive, making the ext2 and swap partitions first, then doing the installs. Trying to do the fully automatic installs without first making the partitions was not good for me.

I also had RedHat refuse to boot after install because it had trouble finding a driver for my USB HP6200C scanner.

I have a Dell with A10 bios. Didn't do anything other than set it to CD boot first.
