Can you really recommend a red hat zero release to a newbie?  What sort of 
introduction would that be if the previous quality control problems are

The only zero release I could recommend would be debian and if you would

ps.  I can burn the open office and mozilla versions that are on the lastest 
linux format dvd if that helps?
