New to Linux

[rik]

Like efc said, Lots of Distros have "Live" cds. You can boot your system up to them and check 'em out without installing. This helps to give you an idea of what you might like. As for me, I've installed and uninstalled many different ones up to now. OpenSuse is cool as well as most others, but depending on how you like your desktop to look You might look at Linux Mint - Bianca also. It's an Ubuntu derivative but kinda pretty.

The thing about Linux is that it gives you many choices. Sometimes way too many choices. Like an alcoholic goin to a liquor store...You just look and look and look and look...You get the idea. Most have all the same otions just presented in different ways. Another fine one is PCLinuxOS.

Check 'em all out!

My "Fav de Jour" is Fedora Core 7...As seen is screenshots here
