Hello Steve,
I'm a beginner too and also running Rad Hat 5.0. If you have installed
Red Hat 5.0 with All the X options installed you should start X with :
'startx ' or 'startx &'
Both will work and for me ther isn't any difference, maybe somebody can
tell what difference
it will make using the '&'. If X does not work properly (mouse or video
problems) you should configure it with: xf86Config to chance settings,
otherwise read the FAQ's and HOWTO pages.
Best regards
