i decided to give linux a shot on my laptop. the installation is complete. i was expecting to get a gui to popup like in redhat. i am sitting a prompt:
root@xx:#
can someone give me an answer as to how i can boot into the gui. thanks and sorry for the ignorance as i'm sure some of you are laughing at how much an idiot i am.
also since this is so new to me would you recommend i stick with redhat instead of slackware? thanks!
