I thought I'd have a read of the web site and sort things out for my self...
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?full=1 The link above only lead me to a list of topic headings. Maybe I should be looking at Mandrake? That also seems to be popular around here. Would that be a better choice? Guys all I'm really looking for is a good GPL linux distro that a bunch of locals are using so I can give and get good assistance. I'd use RH but it seems to be heading down the commerical lines... Debian support on the local mirrors doesn't seem that good and frankly it doesn't seem to be upto the level of some of the others for the desktop enviornment. Excuse me if I'm starting to become frustrated here :) Cheers Don
