All very true, but all the distros which use the rpm install method are an absolute pain because of the dependencies when it come to do major updates or to install a package which is not provided by the distro packager. My advise to a complete newbie to get quality help to install either one of the source distros or Debian or one of its offspring. You can then upgrade with a one-line command. -- Sincerely etc., Christopher Sawtell
