Or is any favor basically the same? cliff notes version: mandrake is quite user friendly, and makes a fine server. it does have more of a desktop angle, though. freebsd is not linux, of course, and is more difficult to install. it is not more configurable. red hat is a very good server and is decently easy to install. > 3. How do I get around this installation problem? put beer and cookies on your porch and start saying things "boy i wish there was a geek who could help me install linux!" really loud. ;=P or you could lug (haha, get it?) your machine to the next meeting and i bet someone would be more than happy to help you out. - -- Aaron J.
