I was actualy thinking of gettin redhat myself. the only two linux systems ive ever used before is actualy redhat and freebsd, and as a n00b i liked redhat much better, it had the x-window system, browser, etc installed already which made things a lot easier for me. Just one more question... whats the differece between linux redhat 8.0 personal and professional? other than the $110 price difference...
