Here's how I did it:
I bought _Teach Yourself Linux in 24 Hours_ by Bill Ball. It comes with RedHat
Linux 5.0 and has all the info you need to install Linux on your pc. The only
thing I would add is that you should visit ftp.redhat.com or one of its mirrors
and download the Xserver from the /pub/XFCom directory (get the glibc2/rpm
version). Aside from that, expect lots of frustration. Good luck in your
struggles!
