Installation linux which version is best?

[mikey62]

I want to install linux and have tried redhat 8.0
what other versions are out there? I have heard of debian and suse? what are these versions and are they good?

I noticed also that when installing redhat8.0 on another pc of mine I had trouble starting the install because the monitor was shaky and resolution was jumpy with lines. Is there a configuration I have to adjust Prior to installing linux? ex: changing the resolution lower while in windoze.
thanks

Mikey

Ark Linux is a very good choice if your not using a laptop and want a working home user system fast
It is simple to install and update.
drawbacks:
not very good PCMCIA support
GNOME just not there
evolution won't run

advantages are
all the audio/video stuff
autologon
easy update for packages that work with KDE
samba support excellent

For newbie and MIS user is the best Mandrake and Slackware is the best for people who wants to have a linux under control.
