Okay I just downloaded this bad boy and have a machine ready to run Linux. Now I need some expert advice on what steps to take. Should I go with Red Hat or Mandrake? Does Kylix require a specific interface like GNOME or KDE, or could I get away with using BlackBox? Also are there any special requirements for either OS, to run Kylix, that I should know about before I start (what is glibc? is it true Mandrake needs a rebuild to include debug symbols?).

I'm kind new to Linux (and installing it), but I'm pretty familiar with Unix as far as using it goes. Never much used X Windows. But I figure it's about time to learn.
