[nfs_bsr]

Hi..
I'm new to linux OS
I want to know which linux system is a good one?
and if possible a user friendly one. Also could you tell me the reasons?
Thanks alot

red hat or mandrake would probably be the best
Red Hat
-easy to use
-lots of features
-graphical or DOS like mode

ya i still prefer redhat over any other distro, the other i would recommend is novell suse.

Keep in mind that the current version of redhat is called Fedora.

> i was referring to redhat 9.

If u have no hassles about partitioning ur drive etc.. Then it's definately Redhat / Fedora...

Otherwise .. try Knoppix .. it's totally hassle free .. just boots rite off the Cd to a totally graphical interface .. Pretty stable too ..
Definately a distribution for a Beginner

Red Hat 9 is good. From reviews I read, Fedora seems buggy. LinuxISrg should have Red Hat 9 ISOs still. Another easy one is Mandrake and CollegeLinux.

Gentoo is a great distro to start on, although it is complicated, the directions are clear and concise, and you will learn alot more about how linux works.

Never had a problem with Fedora!

If it's your first dive into Linux I suggest Mandrake 9.2. The setup can't be easier.
