tried RH; file locations made no sense to me at all.
I may have a twisted mind, but my old DOS drives had a structure very
similar to Debian. Then again, anything is better than a registry!

Well, I managed to get X to run, but only as root. I've read manpages
and howto's until my eyes have crossed.
When I try xdm as a user I get the message only root wants to run xdm.
If I try startx I get a message unable to open consol.
I've checked X, xdm, and startx all three are -rwxr-xr-x.

I need some help. My son shows promise with his art. He saw one of my
friends working(his job) with CorelDraw. Love at first sight. He won't
stop begging for his own pc to run CorelDraw.
Several small problems exist:
1) I have a no MS rule.
2) can't really afford a lot of new expensive hardwar
