Choosing a Linux Distribution
One of the things I found really hard was choosing a Linux distribution to install on my system. You really don’t know which one will work for you and/or you’ll like unless you try it out. The best way to do that is to get a Live CD/DVD of the distribution (available via downloading) and then try it out without having to install it only to find out you don’t like it. A list of Live CDs/DVDs available for lots of distributions can be found here: http://www.frozentech.com/content/livecd.php
Otherwise, there are some top distributions you can look at reviews for that many people have used and recommend:
- RedHat
- Fedora Core
- Gentoo
- Mandriva
- and more, but there are way too many to even list them all here, so if you’d like to see a longer list; visit: http://www.linuxlinks.com/Distributions/
