Simple Linux Distro Compatible w/ Proliant 3000?

[Sean Smith_7]

Can anyone recommend a Linux distribution that I can install from one or two CDs that will automatically give me a GUI? I don't want to get bogged down in a text-driven interface that I don't understand. I'm not a computer whizz :(

The server will support Redhat 6.1, 6.2 & 7.0 & SUSE Linux 6.3 & 7.0.

If you want to have a Linux distribution that you can use learn more about Linux & administer the server, Redhat 6.x would be a better choice.

If you want to mainly use the server for a specific purpose like an application server, go for Redhat 7.0.

Among SUSE Linux, you can take your pick!

Both Redhat & SUSE will bring you to a GUI screen if the display is configured properly.

Since both these distributions are quite old, getting the installation media may be difficult.

Redhat's installation media would be 2 discs as far as I remember. You could look out on the web for this.

Pretty much all modern distro's have GUI interfaces these days.

Chances are the original author has long since forgotten about this question...

Is there any point in replying to a thread that's nearly two years old ??

Cheers,
