I've been reading a Linux newbie guide and I'm trying to decide which distro to use. Toward the bottom of this page http://tinyurl.com/a57w9ln there is a chart makes reference to dependency problems and in Chapter 8 the "Dependency Hell" of RPM based distributions is mentioned.
How worried should I be about the dependency issue? Since I am a complete newbie and not really a computer wiz would I be better off getting a store bought distribution which would have a lot of pre-loaded applications? I found this groups link to the Top Ten Distributions. That is a lot of information to digest. I know there can be no definitive answer to this question and I don't want to start a flame war but I would be interested in hearing some advice on which distribution to choose. My thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer my newbie question. ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email linux_newbies-unsubscr...@yahoogroups.com & you will be removed.Yahoo!
