Just got a new computer...having a bit of a problem though

[ShunNakamura]

nope not at all.

my dad tried to coax me into installing Red Hat 6 or something similar last year... I did, but didn't like it much.. at the time I only wanted to get my comp running again.. taht and red hat wasn't recognizing my internet at all.. and.. that is kinda important to me.

I don't think I particually like red hat... although I still dislike windows more... I really dislike windows. But it is what I am used to, and I am actually fairly good at solving windows problems, so *shrug*. What I really like are the old Macs, such as the Macintosh LC III... you know how badly I can abuse that thing and still have it work none the worse for wear?!

Anyways, yeah, linux is not very common to me. No one I know uses it as thier Main booter, although they may use it in a dual-boot, and I personally couldn't get it to work right, not internet, and it wouldn't dual-boot wiht 2k for me.. although I know it can, I just missed something.. maybe I should try linux again, since it is becoming more popular.

BTW, if I do attempt linux again, which would you recomend. You said you like Gentoo, but it takes a lot of learning.. So I guess my question is, how MUCH learning I usually am good but not always.
