Hi Dario, If it is going to be a server, you may want to install in text mode instead of graphical, first. After the installation is complete, test that you have a working system, by rebooting (you'll have to do this anyway). Then add packages that you need using yum. This way, you can somewhat control the number of applications and libraries that get installed. Of course, all this depends on whether or not you are comfortable working on the command line, and are reasonably familiar with Linux commands and Linux in general. If you are more comfortable with a GUI, using the command line for all tasks may sometimes feel like you are flying blind. I can understand that, because it was one of the barriers I had to overcome when I first made the switch from Windows to Slackware, many years ago. If you're on a deadline (and who isn't?), and you're more comfortable with the GUI, then try using the vesa driver instead and get the whole system setup from there. It is still very worthwhile for you to learn to use the command line, because you will need it eventually for remote administration, using SSH.
