	I'd take 7.0 back and pick up 6.2 if it were me and I really
	wanted redhat.  I know the guys at work who use redhat couldn't
	get X to work with a couple different vid cards and as a result
	7.0 isn't running on any computer at work.  The cards weren't
	anything unusual and the person installing has used linux for
	quite a while and knows his way around.  On the flip side having
	to work at an installation can teach you a lot.  My first stab at
	it was debian hamm.  Talk about an ordeal:)  Of the
	installations I've done I think maybe Mandrake was about the
	easiest.
