I was wanting to get linux for my computer and wanted to run it with windows and was wondering what version of linux to use. And any other stuff I might need to know.
Im in the process of d/l the latest version of mandrake, it is supposed to be pretty good.
Well the top 5 distos right now are
1. ubuntu
2. mandriva (mandrakes new name)
3. mepis
4. fedora (free redhat based)
5. suse
I'm messing with fedora now for one of my file servers. you can see the various flavors and reviews at distrowatch.com
from what I have read Lycoris is the beginner friendly linux.
aside from picking the flavor, linux should be on a drive other than that of your windows install.
