Brand new here.

Am a Linux newbee wanting to get into Linux.

Primary goals are to work in emacs for Python and Erlang programming.
Second, explore the wonderful world of OSS.

Machine is a brand new G4 top of the line. Peculiar features are:

-- an Adaptec 39160 superwide SCSI card and fast (second) disk

-- a Kensington trackball

-- a second video card. (first is GeForce2MX 32M, second is Radeon 32M)

Question is: which is more foolproof for a dummy: new YDL disk
WITHOUT installation support, or CD's WITH installation support.

Thanks.

Best, Ted
