I'm a big newbie to Linux

Hello,
I'm a

to Linux and I didn't install my distro yet. It's a Boxed Copy of RedHat Linux 7. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have my ethernet card drivers nor any PPPoE support. Also, I have no idea on how to compile anything. My ethernet card is a D-Link DFE-530TX+ and I have a Ethernet DSL Modem that needs PPPoE software to connect. Thanks

you can download red hat 9 here, and then burn the iso,s to cd,s

i have a couple of d-link 530 tx around, i am usig one on my 4 rigs . have had red hat 7.2 installled on it i believe, and not a big issue with it.

um...I'm not trying to be deliberately unhelpful here, but I'm not sure what question you're asking. If you think that there might be a hardware problem, can you give better information on your hardware? I would suggest that you load it, and then try to fix any problems that come up.
Sorry if this sounds like an ultimately unhelpful reply.
