Hello and welcome.

I have RedHat 9 on a machine I use as my general purpose server and a very
non standard distribution from Microsoft on my main machine. I will be
switching the server to Fedora Core 2 when it is released. Had hoped to be
doing that over Easter with the test version but the hopeless salesperson at
Time/Tiny neglected to actually put my order on his system and so I am
sulking and refusing to have another go at buying a new machine for a few
weeks.

Why use Time/Tiny? Why not... If you buy their basic models (no software, no
monitor, no freebies) you get a decent value kit of parts with a reasonable
chance that it'll all work properly. Rip their software off, strip the
machine down completely, rebuild, add your own software and Bob usually
marries your Dad's sister.
