The connecting to internet is very easy in linux .

There are many steps but i am saying simple one

Initially configure the adsl router with ppoe over ethernet and enable dhcp address option.

Next plug the ethernet cable from router to the inteface of lan card.

Boot the redhat machine.

In the system-->Administration-->network options check whether lan card is detected and active .

If the lan card is not active activate and save

In lan card select option assign assig ip automatically

check whether ip is assigned by using command ifconfig .

Which edition of linux will be best for 1st time user??

Puppy Linux from what i've heard. But they best way is to try a couple variants and get used to the way linux handles itself. Then look a the bigger names like Fedora and RedHat to see if they offer more. Puppy Linux can be booted from a flashdrive making it easy to dual boot with practially any system without losing what you already have.

Unable to findout and install lan driver

Who told you that this MB is not Linux compatible? There is no reason that this MB should not work with REDHAT, DEBIAN, or any other flavor or Linux. The Realtek driver is generic to REDHAT and it should find the hardware automatically. What is your specific problem?
