Hey there,

I'm a Windows User (No jokes please lol), I want to start learning Linux so I've got my distro of Redhat 9 OR Fedora Core 1 on hand to install. I've been using Windows for a few years so you can imagine how dumb and lazy I am.

 

Soooo, I thought i'd learn some Linux and start putting it to some good use because its getting so popular. I'm just wanting to fiddle around with Linux (I've been in before) and get in abit deeper before I spent abit of money on a Linux box.

 

HOWEVER, I came to install my Linux flavour on my drive. Trouble is, I'm running an Athlon 64 3200+ from an Asus K8V Deluxe with ONE 160gb Seagate SATA drive. I'm completely stuck lol, installation cant communicate with the Via Controller my HDD is running from. I've considered buying an IDE drive to play around with it on, but I hear so much talk about how it does run on SATA drives. Just a question of getting the drivers and installing them so Linux installation can see it.

 

I just wondered if any of you had done this before & would be willing to help me keep away from the dark-side currently known as Windows? lol thanks alot...

say for example if i have rh9 and i update it using the fedora isos,

 

how can i tell (at a later date) that its an updated install or an original install

 

any quick way of knowing ?

 

cheers

I installed redhat 6.x back in the late nineties.... never got around to usin it much more than a couple months. just recently installed 9. set up a dualboot... nev er use xp any more.

 

I guess you could call me a noob who is aspiring to become an IT professional. heh. lots of work to go into that i guess.

 

I take enjoyment in IRC, cigars (opus X by fuente) and, well, compuiters...
