Linux boxes.



This is my first post to the mailing list, so excuse my humble(stupid)
questions.

I installed slackware 3 monuths ago, and I hear so much about red-hat,
open/free-bsd etc.
I am kind'a linux newbie, but before I Start working out and coding under
linux env. I would like to know which box is better, and WHY.

Another issue I find rather importent, is partioning my [Personal] Linux.
I have 3 linux partitions:
1st)250MB mounted as root.
2nd)16MB mounted as swap
3rd)100MB I mounted in /mnt
Many people were mailing the group saying that you should have a seperate
partition for /usr.
How much is enough?
Can I move all /usr to my 100MB partition and mount it as /usr(I can add
more space, I am not limited to 100MB)?
And ofcurse, before making major changes, I would like to know if I should
or should'nt install a new "Linux" Box.

Sorry for being a newbie(But everybody goes through that, don't they?)
