Hello, and thanks for your help. One thing that I've noticed while browsing through the Fourms is that people are not very nice to newbies. Thank for for (mainly) supporting me in my "adventure" to find the right Linux OS. I have been doing a lot of research into Red Hat 9, and I think thats what ill go to. Thanks again for your help and support!

you have got a total of one thing wrong so far, people are not very nice to idiots. most newbies here are idiots. you don't seem like an idiot, so while you might have the newbieness in common with those people, be content in knowing that the people who got flamed showed themselves to be idiots, and you haven't showed yourself to be one.
Welcome to the board, it's not very good right now, hopefully with non idiotic posters such as yourself (from what i have read so far anyway) might help to make this a nicer forum to hang out on.

In my opinion stay away from these until your comfortable with Linux. Personally I don't think they are beginners distributions, stay with Mandrake, Red Hat or SUSE.
And if people are mean to you over something stupid just ignore them they're probably just an anal geek. ;) Most people are reasonably nice to newbiesi ts just they have bad days and get annoyed at the constant spamming/flaming from new people.

right on! and welcome to the mes ;)
i havent tried redhat 9 yet. i just put mandrake 9 on my computer and am playing around with that. so far i am very happy with it. the install was easier & quicker than any distro i have used. anyways, let us know how it goes with redhat 9.

slackware is incredibly easy and simple to use for anybody who has any experience of a unix type system, but it is not as intuitive as the likes of red hat, mandrake lycoris desktop or probably suse for those people who are only used to windows.
LordWiccara:
Can Red Hat 9 easily run on a P233 MMX with about 108MB RAM or would I NEED to install it on my 350 mhz with 348 MB RAM (I know that the 350 will perform better, but I would like to test it on the 233). I am going to be upgrading to a Pentium 4 2.66 GHZ processor soon, so this will not be too much of a problem in the future, I'm just looking at it for testing purposes. Thanks.
