Lots of great suggestions and help from the CLUG members that should get your going. I have been helping people install/run/configure systems for more than 15 years and enjoy drinking beer while meeting a new friend and helping them setup a new system.

Like the others on this list, I would be happy to help you out if you get into trouble on your own. Just bring your system over and we can plug it into my network and I have Redhat and Mandrake disks going back many years, including the latest MDK 9 and RH 8 releases. Beer will be on you.

Cheers, welcome to Linux and good luck on your installs
