Hi again folks, hope nobody is sick of hearing from me yet, if so, I'm sorry. nevertheless, I was looking at the speakup web site, in particular available information on Debian and Red Hat Linux distroes. I am debating choosing to setup either a Debian or a Red Hat system as my first Linux system I have spoken with some Linux users locally and the general consensus from those who have used both distroes is that for a first-timer Red Hat might be an easier setup and that after I have successfully conquered setting up a Red Hat box I would have enough skill to conquer setup of Debian and/or Slackware as desired. Any thoughts? The system which I was planning to use and dedicate to setting up Linux as its only operating system is a Pentium II 233 MHZ w 64 mb of ram and two HDs, it has a sound blaster pro sound card, and it will have a Symbios Logic pci video adapter or an Sys chip set based AGP though I am leaning toward using the AGP so as to be able to use the extra pci slot for something more practical like one of the nics. I know that I should create a min of three partitions, /home, /root, and a swap partition. I have rough ideas of how big I want these partitions to be based on what I wish to do with the server from a functional point of view. The two HDs are 1.6 gb and 2 gb in size respectively.
