Your choice of distributions all depends on your computer, how you use it, and what you expect to put in/get out of it. You seem to be new to linux, so I would suggest (as many others have already) that you start with Ubuntu or a derivative such as Kubuntu or Xubuntu. Just to differentiate, all of these are basically the same OS, the difference lies in the desktop environment. Ubuntu is based on gnome, Kubuntu is based on KDE, and Xubuntu is based on xfce. You may want to start by checking out the respective websites for these desktops and see what you like. I prefer xfce just because I don't need anything fancy and it runs a bit quicker than KDE or gnome.
The Ubuntu family of os's are also a nice choice because of the wide variety of packages (software programs) you can get that are updated often and ready to use without configuration. The only mark I have against ubuntu is it's apparent lack of true security, i.e. you have you use the sudo (better yet, pseudo?) command to run the command as root. You do not actually become root user in ubuntu. It probably won't really matter to you, though. Try the live cd and if you don't like it try something else. Fedora and openSUSE are also nice choices. Good luck. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
