Sam / Thomas, Thanks for taking the time to provide such a detailed response. I really appreciate it.
I attempted to install a copy of Ubuntu on a Mac-based VirtualPC yesterday. The results were not so good. I think I will attempt to do a straight Debian install on a PC-based VMWare machine today. If that goes well, I'll probably remove FC2 for Debian. For what it's worth, my goal is to understand, and use, enough of the OS to (1) code for it using C/C++ and (2) to try my hand at building an internet appliance. I WAS going to use Fedora and a Red Hat based base system, but if I run into obstacles on a daily basis with Fedora, I won't be able to keep it as my desktop OS. Likewise, if I cannot keep it as my desktop OS, then I probably will not be comfortable enough with the OS to finally do what I want to with it.
