It depends on the size of your harddrive. If it's 4GB+ then i'd use PM.
PM's GUI makes it really easy to fiddle around with the disk's partitions.
No need to be a bit nervous using it.
It really isn't worth giving Linux less than 2GB IMHO if you intend to use
KDE's various bloatware. GNOME isn't as bad but doesn't have the same
amount of stuff KDE offers.
RedHat, RedHat, RedHat. But use what you can get your hands on.
All Linux's i've installed came from magazine CD's. BTW i think
Linux Magazine is the best for software. I lost interest in LinuxFormat
months ago.
