I'm thinking of Linux Mint, which seems to support more out of the box than most other distros I've seen. It is, however, a .deb-based release, so if you want a .rpm-based release, go with Fedora. It's going to be pretty much as easy to use as Mint, but might have a few more instability issues. Mint is technically based on Ubuntu without the strict GNU license stance of Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu. That's my 2 bits, worth every cent you just paid me... ;-) Karl > > Thanks! > > Tyler > > On Wed, Jun 30, 2010 at 4:58 PM, Rick Stevens wrote: > >> On 06/30/2010 12:18 PM, Tyler Pauly wrote: >> >>> Hello, >>> >>> I am attempting to install RHEL5 from the 6 CD set onto my home >>> computer. >>> >>> The components are: an Asus P6X58D-E motherboard, an Intel i7 930 >>> processor, >>> some DDR3 ram and an Nvidia 480 GTX graphics card. >>> >>> Upon install, the program asks for drivers.

Never heard of Fletchmail. If you mean "fetchmail", that's entirely different. fetchmail is an MUA--not an MTA. The only "standard" MTAs under RHEL/Fedora/CentOS are sendmail and postfix. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting ricks at nerd.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - I was married by a judge.
