Hi Daly,

I would encourage you to go for Red Hat 3.03 and get the errata
files from sunsite.anu.edu.au.  Red Hat is a very easy install,
with excellent install, uninstall, and upgrade facility.  The 
errata files are on the anu sunsite and there are about eight
files that need to be downloaded and upgraded. (These files
missed the cdrom burn).

Re: X windows.... unless you have got a resonable viedo card
you will have problems with any distribution, so tell us what card
you have and I can check if it is OK.

Hope this helps,

Cheers
