Hi!

I just wanted to thank ya'll for answering my questions. I finally got
Red Hat Linux 5.0 installed! (Now I've just got to learn how to use it!)
The dual boot works great... When I boot to Windoze, it behaves exactly
the same as it did before... the Linux partition is invisible. I created
a separate partition just for files that I want to access from both
OS's... I'll find out if I can get to that from Linux once I get to that
chapter in the book... or maybe I'll just flip ahead a little bit... ;)

I went with Red Hat 5.0 because it came with the book I bought... Only
now, I've noticed that the current release is 6.0... Should I upgrade
before I do too much learning/configuring? Is there an "easy" way to go
from 5.0 to 6.0, without buying a CD? Which GUI is the most fun for
someone who is artistically minded? How do I install it? ;) Will it
recognize my Voodoo3 2000 card?
