Hi Tim,

I would suggest to any newbie to go the RedHat Distribution way. There install
is much easier and there initial manual (if you purchase the official pack)
is good value @ $49. After the initial install, you can purchase the $28
quarterly updates only if you want. It is not a necessary requirement unlike
some MS products.

>(questions, questions!) where are some good places to get Linux here in Aust.
