hey guys, i downloaded wubi, and did the install and everything went fine. then when i tried to boot it, it came up and loaded then it was unresponsive. My monitor went to standby because there was no signal coming from the computer. My hard drive light was not flashing at all and there was absolutely nothing going on. Reinstall? Different distro? or what?<br>

as of a couple of years ago, the officially supported distro for ISU is Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) - they had a site license for the full-fledged version. If you want to stick to that route, you can check out CentOS, which is the free-as-in-beer version of RHEL, or you can use Fedora, which is the RHEL proving ground<br>
<br>
I would guess that most of ISU's documentation is going to be Red Hat-centric, so if you want the easiest time connecting to the university services (email, AFS, hesiod/kerberos, etc), I'd stick to the Red Hat flavors, but the tools can be used on any distro, once you know the basics<br>
<br>
you may also want to check out the Ames Free Unix Group (<a href="http://amesfug.org" target="_blank">amesfug.org</a>) - they're pretty dormant, but a lot of the ISU network/sysadmin guys are on that list (several are here on cialug too)<br>
