stevey, make a random pick smile.gif every linux user has great things to say about
their particular distribution package they use, so agreeing on which to choose
would be an endless debate. biggrin.gif download one (any one) and see if you can be
comfortable in installing and running it.

but i would suggest you make further research on linux as well as
hardware compatibility lists from each of the distributors. smile.gif then download
that which you suppose can handle your hardware. smile.gif just needs time though. smile.gif

also read:

====
Which Distribution Is The Best?
Yeah, right. The best distribution is whichever one that You think is best. I suggest that you install and try as many different distributions as you can. Not only will you learn some things about Linux in general, you'll also discover some things about Linux in particular, like which one is best for you.

i prefure you use mandrake, readhat, or fedora, anything that comes with a destop enviroment, or you will be clueless if you used Debian.

Mandrake is probably the easiest to install

I don't have Linux, but I've heard Red Hat and Mandrake are good for newbies. I believe Knoppix can be burned to a CD and run from there, so that may be convenient for you. If you don't mind shelling out a little money, you may want to buy a Red Hat or Mandrake CD (or however they're distributed. Like I said, I don't have Linux... yet dry.gif).
