I'd take 7.0 back and pick up 6.2 if it were me and I really
wanted redhat. I know the guys at work who use redhat couldn't
get X to work with a couple different vid cards and as a result
7.0 isn't running on any computer at work. The cards weren't
anything unusual and the person installing has used linux for
quite a while and knows his way around. On the flip side having
to work at an installation can teach you a lot. My first stab at
it was debian hamm. Talk about an ordeal:) Of the
installations I've done I think maybe Mandrake was about the
easiest.
