"As for managing your computer: with RH its a breeze, I have no idea how 'l33t' you have to be to do Fedora. My guess is probably not much to get it off the ground, but like Red Hat, the sky is the limit depending on how HackDaddy you wanna get."

Heh, l33d and me ain't even in the same zipcode. I'm more like l00t. Ok, you've convinced me, I'm dropping dime on RedHat and get warmed up before I go too nutzo on open source.

I made a stupid purchase considering I'm looking to go Linux. I bought a wi-fi card that rates good in speed but only after did I check on Linux compatibility, no support. Maybe RH 9.? will be able to scoop it up.....

Thanks for the $.02.
