Red Hat mirrors: http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html However, I'd say as a newbie and as a user of Debian, FreeBSD and Red Hat that Debian with it's 'apt-get install <package name>' (indeed it's 'apt-get' feature alone) is by far the easiest linux to tailor, update and maintain. Try a few distros, but I reckon you'll realise that the biggest player isn't always the best Good luck!

Many thanks to all who replied on this question. looks like Red Hat has it for a newbie. Where's a good place to get 8.0 server & desktop versions. I see them available at redhat.com, but can it be downloaded/obtained cheaper elsewhere? I'd probably buy at least the 8.0 manuals from Redhat unless someone has a better suggestion for learning material TIA again Tim
