I see a lot of redhat talk. Is that the best flavor to use? The beauty of a Linux distribution is in the eye of the beholder. It depends on what you want, how much time and money you want to spend. In North America Red Hat has the highest market share, in Europe SuSE. Another popular end user distribution is Mandrake. Developers prefer Debian. Real hardcore Linux users build their own distribution from scratch. So just try any distribution, decide if you like it, if yes, stick with it, if no switch to another one. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages. Why build a Linux box? Why not just add a Linux partition to your existing PC? Or, if you just want a test drive, try Knoppix: knopper.net Just download the CD image, burn and boot from it. After 2 min you have a complete Linux environment to play around with. Good luck!
