Good to hear it installed just fine. It used to be almost painful to keep Linux updated, but it's come a long way in the past few years. Just as easy as Windows now.

Is there something special I need to do to get all my pc's to see each other on the network so I can transfer files and such?
You're not trying to use that crappy "browsing" that microsoft half-ass supports in Windows XP are you? If so, give up and start looking for your machines by IP number. I would say to use DNS, but you prob arent running that at home.
Look for a program called "Samba" it is a network file transfer utility that I have never had the chance to use
Ok first of all I wouldnt use the crappy MS thing because I already know it wouldnt work. Second I have been thinking about using the SAMBA it installs with the OS. I just have never used it. I guess I could use DNS I still have a Windows 2003 server hooked up. I'm just looking for the simplest way to share files on a WORGROUP LAN.
Simple way to share files on LAN:
Yes, use SAMBA. I got it configured on my Fedora Core box here at the house. Once you have it set up it works great. I have a mapped drive to the FC box and I backup my important data to it.
cool man thanks.
