Linux Rocks!
Here is my dual monitor setup with RedHat. 
I love this thing, easy to use, runs my windows programs, and does everything I need a pc to do. I still use Windows, but less and less.
It was a little tricky getting the dual monitors going with 3d acceleration on Radeon 9800 and the ATI drivers. Would have been less difficult if I would have followed the install instructions closer, LOL!
BTW...RedHat has disabled the ability to play Mp3's in all the players that come with RH9. The player you see on the screen is Zinf, working good so far.

MP3 isn't disabled, you just need to get the codecs from xmms  ( www.xmms.org I believe)
Its a licensing thing 
Nice shots!

| If you want to use XMMS head to this webpage and grab the RPM to put mp3 back in XMMS

I know what you mean, its hard to get to that point where you are since its pretty complicated and hard, but after you get to the point where you can master Linux you will probably be thinking "Why is the world using Windows?" I am still not at this point, but I am sure there are many people here at TechIMO that are, isnt it right CMonster?  P.S. CMonster is a total Linux freak, believe me

BTW, I didnt know there was a identical MSN Messenger out there for Linux. As I am seeing its probably called AMSN right? Where can I get this thing? It looks cool, and I use MSN Messenger a lot (In Windows) so this would be great for me.

dan | Yes it is called AMSN, there is another one called Kmess, probably some others. I get most of my Linux software from sourceforge.net. There are clones for most of the popular windows software.
For example I use Outlook XP in Windows, and Evolution in Linux. They both are very similar except evolution provides news and weather on the start page.
Jkrohn, I installed xmms 1.2.8 before I realized what was going on, now I can't install the patch becauase it's for 1.2.7. How do I get back to the version that came with RedHat?
