After posting the reply, I got several people who emailed me stating the same
thing about Red Hat 7, and to get Red Hat 6.2.

I have been talking to quite a few Linux users, and many say that Red Hat, and
Mandrake are "Newbie" distrobutions. Is this true, and if so, why would a long
time Linux user like you be using it?

I am VERY unfamiliar with Linux, in fact I know almost nothing about it, which
do you think would be the best one to get to learn it?

Any help would be helpful. I have had my last MS crash I am willing to deal
with, I want stability, and I saw just how much software there is for Linux.
Almost everything I use in Windows, is available for Linux. I had no idea, if I
did, I would have been a user a long time ago.
