      What version of linux?

      Being a microsoft person for a long time now, i thought it would be nice to try a new operating system. The trouble is, ive never used Linux before and wondered what version would suit me coming from XP Pro, IE..redhat etc. Any help would be usefull.

      I agree with Poko, Mandrake 9 is a good choice.
      Very easy to install and lot's of nice software included.

      If you get a chance I would get Xandros....Desktop 1.0.
      Very similar to mandrake but I think it is easier to configure.
      On the side of the box it said "Install Windows XP or better" so I installed LINUX

      Poko's right. Only it puzzles the **** out of me at present !

      A penny saved is ridiculous.
