Well, actually I think that most distributions are equally good (I don't
know a bad one). But if you are starting to use a distribution you learn
to know the specific tools and therefore becoming dependend on them ;-)
We use SuSE for years now and therefore personnaly I find eg RedHat hard
to use since it is missing the YaST install tool...

It is, but *only* for developers. As soon as you need to buy it, it's
*very* expensive (but also very fast & stable).

Yes. There is GDL, GNUstep database library which is a rewrite of EOF
1.1.

Well, you have objdump ;-) Anyway, if you want to have an OpenSource DB
I suggest PostgreSQL over MySQL.

BTW: AFAIK neither MySQL nor PostgreSQL are "official" GNU projects.
