OK .. this might be a bit off topic but I see you guys talking about "redhat is good to begin with" ... now I've been using redhat for a reasonable time ...what would you guys recommend to me ( or for the more advanced user ) to be using as a replacement ... another kind of Linux distro or a BSD distro???

Sorry if it is off topic but I was just wondering!

Many thnx,

BSD. Preferably Open BSD, but Free BSD is also good...

and shipma, i agree with owensleftfoot, Mandrake is definitely the way to go for you.. but if you do end up having to partition it yourself, you make three partitions(actually, one is a partition inside a partition) a linux swap, very tiny, with the label "/" that is the root partition, then a linux extended, this alows you to create a linux partition on the same disk as a fat32. and I think the one you put inside the extended is ext2 or something, its been a while since I've had to do that. have fun
