Hello

I have solved a few problems but I have a few real simple one's at the 
minute.

I don't seem to be able to 'see' my CD drives on the desktop. I can't 
even open one of them if I am running Redhat, although I can 'see' it 
in the hardware search thing.

And how do I log in as the 'root' user? I assume I need to do this to 
stop me logging in each time I want to change some of the system 
settings.

I know it exists, but how do I get  a Linux version for a Mac.

Thanks Jamie

Clive
