The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Linux Redhat 9.0 Installation (newbie)

Asked by NIGHTMAR3Z in Linux, Ubuntu, Linux Distributions

Hello ,

I have 2 scenarios I can do for these ideas,

Scenario 1
I want to install Linux Redhat 9.0 I got a copy of that today. I want to try it out and see what all the hype is about and it be nice to learn a new Operating system and not be confined to Microsoft domination. I have a few questions I need addressed and please as clearly as you can . My goal is to have a dual booting system that I can backup with Norton Ghost software I have System Works 2004 (got it for b-day). I just want enough to get me by because I dont want to waste any space since I was told Linux and windows xp dont like sharing the drive.

So how can I get a dual/booter system that can be backed up with norton ghost and how much space do i need for my hardrives .  Currently I have 2 hardrives ... 160 gig , and a 40 gig for Norton backup.

Can I have my windows in NTFS format still?   I will use Windows XP the most I just want linux to play around with to see if I like it and learn it .
Will they be able to share files ?
How many hardrives partions will I need to make and what ones?
Which OS do I install first?

Scenario 2.)
I have a extra computer around 300 mhz 128 mb computer .. maybe more ram cant remember now but winxp is on it and it runs nice.

Should I just install Linux on this computer and what version ?  I dont think redhat will work I think it might be to slow.  Hardrive is 10 or 20 gig dont remember at moment.

So as you can see I want to install a Linux but just caught on what to do.  Suggestions are greatly welcomed .

Thank you
