i have been using linux for a couple fo years, and let me tell you, if you are not willing to put a LOT of your spare time into trying to get it working, forget it. it is worth it, and its very satisfying when it all works, but you spend a lot of raw time just reading doc's and fiddling with config files

and redhat is the only way to go for first time users, forget mandrake, it ALWAYS has problems. i know people will disagree with me, but thats just my experience

anyway, ill leave the rest for the other guru's here

I don't profess to be a guru, i've only been using linux for about a month, but I love it

I was able to set up a linux router for my home network in about 8 hours or so, including installing 2 network cards, and red hat 6.2 on my machine. I am a linux newbie too.

I've played around w/ HP/UX, AIX, Red Hat, and FreeBSD, and I would say definately go w/ red hat. it's a great, powerful, and FREE os. you can't beat it. Of course you must dual boot to win98 so you can run the programs you want....

hey, i just installed debian two days ago. now i triple boot with win2k/win98/and linux. it's pretty sweet. but i would have in no way gotten all the hardware to work if it weren't for our school admin. he's demon on irc if any of you know him. he also helped write xmms. took the original source and cleaned it up. look on the credits he's there.

As an op in a Linux channel on IRC, I can tell you to stay far away from Red Hat 7. Although I definitely do not like any Red Hat versions, at least Red Hat 6 and earlier came with a working compiler. Heck, even Linus in a recent posting said that RH 7 was bad medicine.
