I'm installing Red Hat 6 now. I purchased it from Cheapbytes.com for $1.99 or so. I'll let you know more later, but for now, let me say that FIPS and Disk Druid both have user interfaces written by people who problably use nix as their main OS and never need to gasp* use the programs. It's odd - the install takes an end user through about five "yes/no" questions that are written very well and make it easy to provide the correct answer, and then dumps you into either fips or disk druid, at which point most neophytes would get frightened away. Be Inc at least liscensed partition magic to allow end users to partition their hard disks into Windows and Not Windows halves with relative ease. RED HAT Linux on every desktop won't happen unless they fix the UI on disk druid. ---matt
