Linux Question(s)

Easy Gentlemen...20 year Microsoft Guy your talking to here, so be gentle. For now I'm sticking with the 1 version of redhat (Fedora9) and working with it.

I tried the Profiles thing but that didn't do it....I did fix the issue though, I had to enable the Network service in the Service Configuration. That seemed to do the trick.

I do appreciate the info though on the profiles......something I had to learn anyways.

Seriously TDF Ubuntu distros are very easy to learn.

Simplicity wise you may wish to look at Xubuntu,insanely simple interface.Highly watered down distro of Ubuntu.

Kubuntu looks kinda like windows,the KDE interface is the closest thing to a windows desktop.

In the end I would highly recommend straightup Ubuntu.Hardy Heron really does work.

TDF - Do the Ubuntu on a live CD and load it in and play around, think you screwed it up? Reboot.

Haven't played with Fedora after 4 but have run SUSE 10X and this server is actually CentOS . Thinking of a new server and it will likely be Cent or RHEL

On a side note, get the Linux running on top of a virtual machine. Don't like it, trash it and start anew
