1 Week Rinux ( Linux ) Challenge

So... you know, i do the windows and linux thing alot. Well offically ive put down windows crack addiction finally, and have VM'd it for school but thats it pretty much. Which you know this was coming once i go a serious unix/linux job, and as some of you may not know.. I DID! no more support coordination! I am a Linux Administrator now! Woot Woot!

So my wise idea was hell lets kick over to that Centos 5.0 update 2 install i have going on. *LOL* let me tell you, if you like ease of use, kids stick with Ubuntu... Centos is a night mare I've had to add repo's for almost everything i want to install. I have a botched version of VLC going on, botch version of almost everything, and if its not botched its bastardized to the max!

So heres my set up...

Centos5 - Vmwared out w/ Debian 4.0rc4/Ubuntu 8.04/Winxp SP3

Additional fun stuff:

So I thought I would add some essential links:
