I am using Sun VirtualBox and it's really lightning fast. Well considering if you have ample amount of resources. As for me, I'm just running a Core Duo 1.86 Ghz 3Mb RAM and everything is running smoothly. You also need internet connection to be able to install most of the applications. Just start with the 'apt-get install' rather than compiling from source. I suggest you start with Ubuntu, aside from the wide community it has, it's really beginner-friendly. I even have friends who are not in the IT field (eg. Medicine, Marketing) but they are using Ubuntu. :) -- リヅバン バルヨス http://ridvan.baluyos.net Q: Have you heard of the Object-Oriented way to get wealthy? A: Inheritance.
