i am trying to make the switch from windows98 to linux. i have a new machine (dell w/ xp) and am trying to put an old one i have to good use. i don't know a lot (hardly anything) about linux but would like to get started. i'm not using my machine as an accesspoint or server but i'm using red hat 9.0. okay, enough background info;
1.) should i use redhat?
2.)if so, are there are good installation guides for complete rookies?

Fedora will just run fine but you won't have fun with a blown X environment (graphical desktop) like KDE or Gnome. But hey ... you could give it a try, installation is pretty easy nowadays. ;)
