Ok, I have been thinking about trying linux on. I have been reading a lot about it over the past couple of weeks and it intrigues me a little bit. However, I am NOT comfortable at the command line yet, I have to have some type of x server. could I still follow this "how-to" and acheive the same results from within kde or gnome?

I want to set this up to host website content on the internet, and also email, ftp, all that good stuff, are there any suggestions from anyone as to where I should start. I ordered some ShipIt cd's, i keep getting bad checksums on my downloads, so I have to wait until those get here, but I'd like to have a game plan at that point.
