The beauty of the *nix OS'es is that unlke windows you don't have to totally
re-isntall the OS, if you missed something then install it in addition.
Linux, Unix, Irix etc do need more work to be setup, but once done
maintenance is much less and things usually work as they should.

I'm surprised to hear hat you had dependencies problems as using the
interactive RPM management usually outlines/identifies the dependencies and
helps you to locate them. I've got much more experience with SGI Irix, but
both it's gui based "software manager" and console based "inst" software
installer lists the dependencies.

The limited recent experience (over 8 months ago) I have with Redhat 8.0 RPM
manager seemed to work well also in this regard. It's not like windows where
when thing go belly up and they recommend a complete re-install. Stick with
your current install and add what you need. Reading docs also helps heaps as
the OS gives you much more control, you just need to take the bull by the
horns. Rememer you've been on a really steep learning curve and should be
really inpressed with what you've achieved thus far. You will be surprised
sometimes with te number of dependencies you encounter, this is normal and
can only get distressing if disk space is starting to become an issue.
