Hi guys,

I'm a newbie, and boy am I thrilled with red hat, so far. I initially was a red hat basher because I tend to root for the under dogs and stray from main stream things. (im sorry i'm forced to use winslows). But after buying slack and their manual, I had difficulty just figuring out where to start, and what to do. It seemed like nothing worked. I have to admit I was attracted by the name, but that faded fast after nights of cluelessness.

So I went to border books, to look for some info on red hat and came across, red hat linux 9.0 for dummies...and guess what it supplies you with red hat 9.0 to boot. All this for 29.99. I picked it up, read over it and had it installed that night. Red hat practically identified and had almost all my divers for my hardware, even my printer - windows doesn't even do that. I am very impressed with old red, it has renewed my confidence to once again try to stray from windows.
