But my main question is this. I am very new to LINUX/UNIX/etc. environments, and this is the only way for me to learn (I don't have UNIX stations readily available). I was wondering if I could get some help with the installation, preferrably without totally reformatting my hard drive. If you have the time, and wouldn't mind the bother, I would really like to get set up as soon as possible to see what all the hype is about!!! Thanks for your time Chris Lopez DIABLO@AVST.COM
