 What is this now? Minimize
Hi folks,

I finally made my decision and re format my harddrive and installed fedora core 5 linux on as my new desktop operating system.

Well this time I want to succeed and switch to this (free linux) for the rest of my life. I also hope to contribute on this operating system in the future after having the comlete knowledge about it. The main reason behind this switch is having the operating system free...

Finally I will see if free is good or bad...
I will keep you posted with my findings.

 The steps I took for a complete desktop system Minimize
1. Installed my hp photosmart 7660 printer. (Driver was already in Fedora DVD)
2. I needed to install some MS fonts such as Tahoma, Verdana, Times New Roman etc. (This is a bit challenging for a newbie)
I tried to use the following steps: http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/
Here are the challanges:
a. I could not find rmp-build or rmpbuild in my system. (I imagine this is used to build rmp)
    Now I am looking for this...
