hey guys! okay this is sort of a newbie question so i feel a little naive for this post. i’m looking for a decent gui but really i want to understand the program, so something middle of the road. it was almost seven years ago but i ran the unix server when i was highschool for two years. i was pretty good with that then as i started messing with dos when i was 15 so i HAD a little background. unfortunately i have hit space out central since leaving highschool and can’t handle anything too hardcore like slackware (at least it seems so to me)let alone will i be able to get through typing this thread and remember why i started it. distros i have tried are suse, ubuntu and pclinuxos. right now im downloading xandros, fedora and debian. my roomates are fortunate enough to have a decent enough income to acquire new computers so they let me at all their spare parts and so i was blessed in the end with this cute little crap piece hp pavilion, p3-1ghz, 256…it seems to handle everything quite fine but im afraid getting a gui intensive distro will slow it down a lot. ugh ok so my main question was where is a good place to get up to date info on delving into linix from the begining? a lot of sites i have seen seem to have been last updated around 2003 and im sure the base of linux cant be outdated too much but i have no idea. right now i’m reading linux.org’s @getting started with linux@. are their any good books i should check out, anything else? so if this post made sense, any help would be greatly appreciated!
