but for educational purpouses)

2. How can I connect to the internet thought TCP/IP????????(IN RED HAT 6.0
OR   IN  WINLINUX 2000)

A lot of thanks,

If you're an 3l33t hacker you build your own distro.

Ok.. you're definatly not an 3l33t hacker, so forget what I said.
How about RTFM?

There is no single "best" Linux distribution, although for educational and
hacking purposes it may be easier to narrow the field, depending on
exactly what you mean. You may want to check my web page on Linux
distributions:

There are many ways to do this, depending upon the type of TCP/IP
connection. For instance, if you're using a modem for a dialup PPP
connection, you can create and edit text-mode ppp dialer scripts, or use a
GUI front-end like KPPP (which comes with KDE) or X-ISP
(http://users.hol.gr/~dbouras/). If you're using a direct network
connection or a cable or DSL modem, you probably need to set up DHCP or a
static IP address via Ethernet, which you can do in distribution-specific
GUI tools. There are many other variants, and without knowing more about
the nature of your connection, I can't give more information without
writing a small book on the subject.

Get Suse 6.3. It comes with a very good manual which will answer many questions.

RTFM means read the manual :-) So if U have a good one, you are sorted.

What is a 3133t hacker?  I know what RTFM is, but not this...

Never heard of WINLINUX. Best distro for hacking IMHO is Slackware.
RedHat insulates you too much from what is really going on. Connecting
to Internet is easy, :-) Just see the N series files in Slackware. You
will need a browser. Lynx works from a command line. For XWindows I
suggest downloading Netscape 4.7. Make sure your ISP gives you enough
information for setting up your pppscript file in /etc/ppp.
