Yea use tyhe "newbie" vesion if you don't know what you are doing... I am very familiar with DOS/win 9x/NT enviroment.. I got a Red Hat CD from a friend and decided to install it on my pentium 100 IBM Aptiva (OK,OK you can stop laughing now.. I got it free).. Just to test it out and see how I liked it.. well it only took me about 20 min to figure out how to get installed correctly over a previous DOS partition.. now that I am getting familiarized with it.. I will install it on my Dual PII 333 server box to make it my Proxy.. but I still know little about linux enviroment.. any suggestions on some sites to visit?
