I'll download Red Hat and give that a try.

Thanks!


Ray, 

Here's a more specific statement of what I need to do.

I've got a Kayak XU800 with a single 866Mhz PIII, a Matrox G400 dual head 
card, an ATI TVWonder VE, the onboard sound system, and a Linux compatable 
DVD.

Mandrake 8.2 autodetects everything during installation so I don't expect any 
major hardware issues.

I want to be able to record TV to watch it later, I'll be using a monitor as 
my display device.  I also want to be able to watch DVDs on this system.

I'm willing to go with any simple solution to accomplish this.

Thank you.
