I understand and applaud Redhat's redhats attempts to "standardise" linux so that users and especially new users are starting in a consistent enviroment. Maybe redhat should look at including some sort of option in the "custom" installation class... like "use redhat default desktop or use KDE /Gnome desktop"... ( I hope you know what I mean). I've always wanted to use debian but apparently even their latest offering does not support ATi. radeons This is not unsurmountable, as installing XFree should remiedie that...The whole Debian thing is too scarey. I've only been using linux for about 18 months and I still suck at it. Debian people have this whole "Ohhh, he uses Debian, so he must know what he's doing" thing attached. When I learn alittle more, I'll give Debian ago. Regards Mick -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
