What version of linux to install for a first time user?

I was wondering the same thing.

It's time to expand my OS horizons. 🙂

I know enough *nix command to make myself dangerous, I think it's time to remedy that. 😉
 
Latest version of Redhat.
No, I'm not going to link it.
If you can't type in www.redhat.com then you are way too lazy to use linux.

Seriously, Redhat has always been one of the best for trouble-free installations. They are very up to date on hardware compatibility and the installer should auto-detect all of your hardware.
Mandrake is good for beginners too.

What's so hard about just going to the Redhat site Tret?

Personally, I don't need a link...just the info. 🙂
 
Redhat I hear is good for linux noobs (I still am for the most part), but I've never tried it. Mandrake 9.1 is pretty good from experience. However, I wouldnt try Gentoo or Slackware if you dont have the experience with linux, even though those are some of the better operating systems in terms of performace/stability IMHO. Once you get comfy with your first linux os, then I'd suggest moving to Gentoo or Slackware. Those are the best Imo.
 
I'm not sure, but you should definately IM notfred if you have ANY problems or issues whatsoever. He loves helping people set up linux...
