Hello everyone. I have hit the point where I feel I am ready to evolve to Linux. My partner and I are even ready to start a linux box at work. I have absolutely no experience with Linux as of yet. I am looking into Red Hat, and I have downloaded the ISO386 image that it says I need to start. I have a couple questions: 1) Is that all I need to install the OS? (My bios does allow for a cd rom boot) 2) What is the difference between the GNOME and the KDE workstation? 3) The Iso386 image is supposed to work for the Intel chip, but I have an Athlon. Will this still work, or should I use a different image? 4) If we put together a linux box at work, what are the key elements I should look for/avoid in a computer? Thanks, I really do appreciate it. Chris.
