That last bit of advice shouldn't be overlooked. If you're new to Linux, just about any mainstream distro for which you can easily get help is going to be a go smoother than one for which you're left with nothing but Google and web-based forums full of incoherent advice and wrong answers. Personally, I prefer Gentoo, but it's probably a bit too nuts-and-bolts for many people. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
