Knoppix was a real eye opener for me, installed faster than Win 98
OEM release for my H.P.

Configured in a flash I was online faster than my first
Win 98 install.

Needed a couple of commands from the gurus to setup
the user account as the power of root GUI utilities scared
the crud out of me.

A couple of commands from the command line interface
and I was safe and off and running with a user account 
on the internet :-)

Once you've got this O.S. working, mail, newsgroups, browser and
dialer then you can at leisure discover the power of the command line
and there starts the learning curve.

Never messed with Redhat.
