Yay my linux came in the mail!

[revenge2]

Lol about 4 weeks back i requested free cd's and it came today!!. YAy. But the thing is i just dont really know how to use linux efficiently.

Im just wondering which is the most best linux distribution? when it comes to usb drivers, graphics, compatibility with some windows apps etc.

Thanks
(yeah still tryna figure out which linux is good for me)

Ubuntu seems to be good for newbies, try that. USB drivers, no problem. Graphics card drivers, no problem (if you have Nvidia, at least). Compatibility with Windows apps, ehh.... Don't count on it from any distro.

I use Ubuntu. Very user friendly distro. I heard that opensuse is very good too but I never try it.

Ubuntu has been the easiest for me and plus there is a lot of support for it

PCLinuxOS

This is the distro I use and recommend, Why because it works right out of the box. No need to configure Everything, everything just works. It also comes as a 1 CD install that is a live CD that you can install later if you wish.

Kubuntu
Kubuntu - The KDE Desktop

Mandriva
Mandriva One - Mandriva Linux

I got my free Solaris DVD about a week ago. I imagine thats what you're talking about? I mean...who could pass up a FREE dvd?

I got my free Solaris DVDs too. And I just orderd two 32-bit, and one 64-bit, Ubuntu CDs. They'll be here in 2 1/2 months. I downloaded them, but I heard the CDs come with free stickers.
