My suggestion would be to install centos and start configuring it to do everything you want it to do. It might take some time, so you might want to install it on another computer or on a virtual machine. If you're running a 64 bit version of Linux on a computer with virtual- ization support enabled, consider using KVM for a virtual environment. Otherwise consider installing VirtualBox. Either one will let you create a VM for experimentation while you keep your main workstation fully functional. Also, check out the www.centos.org website. The wiki and howtos are very good. If you have a nearby Linux Users Group, try to attend a meeting and/or join their mailing list. c

Joining the list is a great start.? Also, reading some of the FAQ would be a good idea. In case you're not familiar with what CentOS really is, maybe check this: ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CentOS As others have mentioned, a VM would be good.? I personally prefer VirtualBox since it seems to perform very well without taxing the host too much. Good luck! ?If life gives you lemons, keep them-- because hey.. free lemons.

> Marry a girl that can cook; they can all do that other thing.Just be wary of how well they can cook though. I married a classically trained chef and meals were fantastic until she got a job working at a restaurant. Now Marie Calendar and I have dinner together nearly every night. I love her to death though (my wife, not Marie, hehe). -Justin
