OK, 1st off let me start with I am new to Linux...

2nd, I am still trying to learn/remember the UNIX command line

3rd, I am trying to setup samba for file sharing and to host a website.

4th, I am trying to install video drivers for my 2 x 7950 GT in sli

5th, I haven't installed a program before in linux

please give some advice for the video drivers??? Nvidia has them for the 64 bit which im running, but trying to install them placed me into a CLI which I couldnt get out of so im reinstalling.

the command KDE should put me back in the GUI right??

kind of an awkward choice, why not just go with CentOS and get the same thing you would get with paid RedHat enterprise.

try "startx" from the command line.

Yep you cna do all those (also, http://www.nomachine.com > VNC, almost as good as rdp for windows).

Why a linux box for a windows workgroup, expecially when you want a domain eventually?

I have no clue. I've always used it in  a vm or as a server and never had to mess with drivers.
