THese guys are pretty much right. REdHat is good for beginners who want to learn linux. However with no knowledge it can be hard. I recommend installing Madnrake 8.1, it is very easy but will get you used to linux then you can try upgrading to RedHat. THis will make is muh easier.

For Mandrake 8.1: Ifyou have a cable/DSL and a cd-burner getting Mandrake is easy. Just point your browser to ftp://ftp.stealth.net/pub/mirrors/ft...m/mandrake/iso and download the first file. I downloadedd it at 380 KB/sex along with others. After about 20 min the file finishes. THen use your cd-burner to write that image to the file. (Use your burner programs image to cd command) put it in your machine and reboot tada you are done!
