Depends on what you want to do and what you mean by "beginner"; I've been using various PC OSes sice 1986 and Unix (Solaris) since 1990 but have during the eight months I've been experimenting with RedHat 5.2 not been able to use either the modem or the soundcard. RH installation supposedly takes care of this but they still don't work. Digging into the documentation and fooling around with minicom etc didn't help me either. I really like Linux and would like to use it more but the fact that I can't even configure my rather standard system keeps me from doing this. Of course the reason for my failure might be that I'm a complete klutz but the answers I got from comp.os.linux.setup didn't help me (and were sometimes contradictory). / Gunnar
