Newbie imigration from win to linux

[Ron Herardian]

Jad,

I highly recommend Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Professional Workstation. The product costs about $100 US in stores and comes with a year of RHN updates (which are downloaded automatically). Doing a basic install is quite easy. I would only suggest having big enough partitions and installing "Everything" as this save you the trouble of finding and installing RPMs later. You'll need something like this for partitions:

	/boot	100M
	/	1GB
	/usr	5GB-6GB (IF you DO NOT have a separate /usr/local and plan to install "Everything")
	/swap	1x or 2x physical RAM (up to a single 2GB swap file on a workstation)
	/var	2GB-4GB (this is where updates will be automatically downloaded and where mail goes)
	/home	the rest
	/opt	if you want somewhere other than home to put stuff

RHEL 3 WS is truly great.

Ron
