So I've been tinkering with Unix since SCO Unix, but it wasn't until Debian/Ubuntu that I started to really like using *nix like OSs. (That and I'm just tired of Windows bullshit). I used RedHat for a short while (couldn't tell you what version. 3? 4?). So what's RHEL mean? What makes Cent/Fedora different? Keep in mind I am not super into kernal hacking or doing weird shit. I can build source if I have a walkthrough/INSTALL file on hand, but I'm not a genious guy.

I got Xming working at my work PC, but what kind of bandwidth do you need? my upstream pipe from home is like 10-15mbps so not amazingly fast. Seems really sluggish, but maybe I have something setup incorrectly?
