Not from my experience, no. It's pretty straightforward.

Oh, cool, cool.. Will there be any terminal commands I'd need to know, though? Because I REALLY don't know anything about those.. I think I made two members at #ubuntu commit suicide before I was done with them..

 

[Martin]

No, it's a graphical installer. The last RedHat I tried was RedHat9, since then I've only tried Fedora Core. What version do you have?

 

[/usr/bin]

Oh, that's good then.. I'm not sure about the version, but it's the latest off of linuxiso.org, I think..

How is Fedora, btw?

 

[Martin]

Ok, here's the scoop. RedHat was produced by RedHat (the company) for many years and cost nothing to download. Then at some point they decided to make it commercial, so now RedHat is called Red Hat Enterprise Linux, it costs a few bucks and they bundle support too, it's mostly for companies. But they released the RedHat code to the community and thus Fedora Core was born, effectively the non-commercial version of the same thing. Now, FC is all about rapid development, they are probably the quickest to release new applications and stuff, with possible stability problems that could entail. A lot of people still use FC in production though, so it's not a shambles, it just has occasional bugs. I haven't used it enough to really know, I've just tried it a few times.

Finally, there's also White Box, which *is* Red Hat Enterprise Linux for free and without the support.

Out of those, FC is probably the most fun.

 

[/usr/bin]

I see.. which one would you recommend, though? Red Hat 9?

 

[Martin]

No, RedHat9 is ancient now, RHEL is at version 3 already, FC is at version 4.

Oh.. well, I guess I'll tinker around with 9 for now.. Until my cousin downloads Fedora for me..

 

[Martin]

you're not very independent, are you?

It's not that.. It's just that we have our DSL connection.. howler: .. yeah.. DSL It's more like 24-hour 56k over here..) used by 3 computers on a router.. So, it gets split into 3, and becomes much slower.. He's got only the one computer connected to the network, and a DVD- writer...


Oh, and I managed to succesfully run Red Hat..

Eh? You're going around in circles, here.. You couldn't know linux if you didn't know linux, so you got a job? :undecide:

 

[Martin]

Ok the sentence made no sense but the point is I couldn't get the job if I didn't know linux, so there
