I used to install mandrake and if I need to install any software based on linux, I can install them via GUI eventho more complicated than windows.

And I was just wondering in commercial industry, if sysadmin is asked to install subversion or veritas or tivoli. Did they install via GUI or via console (like extract the file into specific directory manually)?

If Linux is good to learn then I will download fedora and buy old box and install it, buy a book and play around. Any recommended book for fedora?

Thanks heaps guys,
