Reply: Actually, you want to go with Fedora Core, not RedHat... Either Fedora Core 3 or MandrakeLinux 10.1 is good for beginners. Make sure you burn the ISO files as image files, not data files. Boot up using the first CD and just follow the instruction. Personally, I would go with Fedora Core 3 (4 CDs set) :) taurus
