"What distro should I get?"

[markanini]

Look at this site http://www.distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=major theres a comparision of the major distors avalibale.

In general if you are looking for a very easy to use linux distro thats free i can recommend Lycoris

I've had a good time with redhat. If you want I can send you the disks for Red Hat 9. or head on over to linuxiso.org

The easiest install and to use by far is Mandrake. Of course, redhat is fairly easy as well and you will always better support with redhat since it is the most widely accepted. I know that when I fooled with Mandrake I thought it was a little 'too easy' if you catch my drift...I mean, I've been using unix and linux since 1994 and everything was taken care of for me with redhat and mandrake so I didn't get any chance to REALLY optimize or configure until after they were installed. I'd recommend either Mandrake or Redhat. And go to the site Six was talking about, linuxiso.org....It's the best site for linux distro's on the web. It's the one and only place I go to.
