Any ideas for tweaking it? I thought about RAM and will look into putting more in, but was more interested in getting it working.
I know people really have a mad on for Red Hat, but my reasons for tinkering with it is this: 1) I have a big ass book that offers me some resource material. 2) Red Hat seems to be the MS of Linux as far as install base and name-branding in the marketplace. 3) With reference to point 2, if I am going to move forward in my IT career, then I figure knowing how to work and play with the more "industry-popular" distros gives me an edge. I can say that I have experience. 4) It came with the big ass book ;-) 5) As the first Linux distro I have gotten working for myself, it will provide me a springboard to try other distros as I gain more confidence, knowledge and skill. > -----Original Message----- > From: Aaron J.
