I think you'll find most people tend to consider Mandrake to be a good Beginner version of linux. &nbsp;Personally, though the install is more difficult, I like debian - it's package management tools are, in my opinion, MUCH better than those on Red Hat/Fedora, Mandrake, Suse, etc. &nbsp;But you'll probably be better off going with Mandrake to start.

i like how easy suse was to configure but i hated trying to download all of the gnu programs via ftp install, but fedora core seemed to be my favorite. i had a very bad experience with mandrake and i didn't like lindows because it felt to much like windows. I couldn't get my DamnSmall Linux to boot off of my usb stick for some reason but i like to be able to be able to mod my gui to look thin like DSM

Hello, I was wondering which linux distro was the best for my type of user. I'm fairly new but what seems to be the best to install programs from rpm using a program like YaST, but is good for a beginning programmer like me, but ease of use to mod KDE to look more like windows.

Which Linux distro is the...

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
