ok i have just lost my mind

Seriously was linux made to scare ppl away, ok so i decided to try out linux installed linux fedora core 1 on a p3 550mhz 128mb machine.

Only happen to be shocked away by the text line i mean i was expecting first of all a GUI to start off with so i can get familiar with it. i selected the x window option while installing but tried everything to get to a desktop environment nothing works.

now this is what i want to kno, what exactly do i need to to step by step in terms of setting up a server and having it fully fuctional with a cpanel demo to mess arround with it and gain some experience.

these are my understanding so far

Need to install linux os fedora core 1 (i dont mind using the command line if i get the commands, but not having the commands blew me away.)

after that i am lost basically. during installation i already selected mail server web server etc i am not sure if the case is i will still need to install a mail server like qmail or what not and other servers.

Please anyone that can help let me kno compatible list of software to download for this process ftp server mail server etc.

and after i load the os and get to command line i am stuck so where do i go from there. Also it doesn't seem to pick up my internet connection when loading

So what do i need to do?


I am here to seek the experts advice and help it is much appreciated.

thanks in advance
