LURKER here, While the subject is here, I have been having most fun with Linux-Mandrake 7.0 for about a year. Still using this ol� version for learning as much as possible. I recently purchased a copy of Debian 2.0 but find it much more difficult, more for the "Has been drip under pressure" (EXPERT?). Until then this is the one to use for learning, it is easier to convert what you know about WindBlows to Linux and beyond. That will come with time, but for learning this is the BEST one to use.
