Thanks for the offer. I was starting in a simple user mode, not root. That was my original problem.
I have done some debating with myself about the distro issue and with the help of this group I have come to re-evaluate my choice of distro.
I am going install Koppix 3.2 (something I didn't do before, just ran it in RAM) and examine Koppix 3.2 for a few days. I will be looking for some answers, I am sure.

Well, 30 minutes into this and everyone has their favorite distro.furniture
I was ready to use Koppix 3.2, but it didn't work on the e-machine I have (system is loaded with RH 8.0 so its not like the last time - a bogus bios setting.)
The e-machine is a piece of junk and I don't really use it; maybe I should get off it, stop crying and get back to work with Koppix.
I know that RH is Microsoftish and I have noticed them moving the
around. Time for some experimenting.
I am willing to try to get your kppp problem fixed but I need a little more information about what you are doing. Knowing that you are starting it in root does not help me understand why you are chosing to do that.

In my opinion Debian is the linux distro that is best. Granted, I pretty much exclusively use FreeBSD at this point, from all my linux experiences, Debian holds up as tops.
The main reason is that debian holds to a standard for each relase. Whereas red hat (for example) will change the location of a particular config file from release to release, debian is more stable and adheres to a standard. Documentation is better too, imo.
Where config files are placed might not matter if you're only using the gui X interface for management, but it can be a real pain in the arse if you need to edit them "by hand".

Brian, Well... if your priority is mainstream, then maybe you need Windows. As far as I can tell, redhat is the microsoft of the linux community. Ive spent a lot of time trying various linux's, and have found Mandrake to be far superior to RedHat, its actually based on redhat, but it usually works much better. If you like the way redhat does things, maybe mandrake is a good thing for you to try. Alternatively SuSE is also very easy to install and has a decent userbase. Personally I prefer Slackware, but its not really a newbie type system (although it gets easier every new version...)
