about different linux systems

[theEclipse]

I am wondering what version of linux I should use. I will be running it on a pII 200 or better and will need to have internet access (through a LAN). I am a sort-of newbie but I do have some expirence with linux.


thanks in advance

depend on what style you like.if you like packages (use redhat) or like packages in nicier way (use mandrake) or you prefer a lot lot of packages in a little bit ugly way(use debian) or you even don't predffer packages in that way, and don't like dependencies (use slackware) or you no no no like packages (use sorcerer - cool distro) and there are myuch much more possibilities. just specify your needs and claims.

ok, try mandrake from

http://www.mandrake.com

or redhat from

http://www.redhat.com

(order a cd or download ISO image), install and you will step to the other side. but be careful, there is no way back! you will never more find windows usable etc...
also browse

http://www.linux.com/howto/

and all the docs on redhat/mandrake/...

Hi,
the easiest way to learn linux is with SuSE-Linux I think.
But that's just my opinion.

no, suse no, that are bad guys with just a piece of distro for free
