redhat interface looks pretty nice
only mac os x and xp look better!

Re: nice
Maybe, but linux in general is themeable in many more ways than either os x or windows. And there are literally thousands of themes. Take a peek at www.kde-look.org or http://art.gnome.org or www.freshmeat.netthine_impalor said:redhat interface looks pretty nice

What's that...?
yep, theres are alot of windows applications that have linux ports. for example, AIM, ICQ, MSN Messenger (you can use GAIM for all of these), Netscape. Then you have KOffice which is very similar to microsoft offfice, but it is free. Basically, everything you have on windows you can have on linux (except for alot of the games)

I prey, not pray.
Re: oh
Depends on the desktop environment you use. There realy is no "linux interface" in a sense. I used Ximian gome for a while, which looks awesome. Now I use a variant of nextstep.
Though Eagles pic has the default ugly fonts
Through wine you can run a huge number of them, but its a bit like emulation. It runs them only a tad slower than windows does (lots of overhead), and they aren't ran as accurately as windows runs them.
Through winex, you can run several games, such as max payne, diablo 2, warcraft 3, etc.
Several games though are ported directly to linux, that would include the sims, all of the unreal games, and all of ID softwares games (including the upcoming doom 3). These games will run a lot better in linux.
Mozilla is *the* most used browser for linux (second is konquerer, which is very fast and based on the KHTML engine). Mozilla is also ported to just about everything. I prefer phoenix myself though.

What's that...?
mandrake is up to version 9.1, so i'd install that if your gonna go w/ mandrake. mandrake has a nice install utility as well which makes it really easy. However, i have recently been convinced to switch from mandrake to gentoo, so maybe you want to use that. It all depends. Mandrake was good to kinda familiarize myself w/ linux because its very user friendly. Now im not saying that i know alot about linux, cuz there is still alot i don't know, but the choice is yours.
