>From my own experience, I started with the node running under Windows until I got comfortable with Linux. DXSpider runs well under Windows (I was using 2000 Pro), but it is much more stable under Linux; it never locks-up, dumps, blue screens, or any other such nasty business.<br>

Since then, I've tried several different distributions, and found that I like Ubuntu the best. This is a subjective preference; I've generally found it best to stay away from discussions about religion, politics and Linux distributions, hi.<br>

I am a complete novice at both Linux and sysoping a DX node. I am looking at putting a cluster on in west central Illinois. I have a machine that has Fedora 9 already installed. Will DX Spider be any problems using Fedora 9? I also have Redhat Linux 9 installation package, if that would be any better.<br>
<br>
I really want to learn to use Linux, but would installing under Windows rather than Linux a better option for me?<br>
<br>
Any help would be appreciated.<br>
