Guest Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 they all have the same amount of programs. What runs on one distro runs on any other. There all using the linux kernel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 ubuntu seems to get a lot of good press for *nix n00bs. Suse is good (people say its bloated but it works out the box), i like suse on my laptop. Debian is very flexible, but not as flexible as gentoo. Fedorra looks pretty good, based on redhat. Slax is a bastard if your new to it. FreeBSD is good, but complicated. I like FreeBSD best, as it works in a very logical way, has good hardware support and once you get to grips with how it works, is easy as pie. So, download ubuntu and suse, have a play with them, then download freeBSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metatron Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I would say Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the most popular Linux distro(as in most in widely used). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickarse Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I'd go Ubuntu. It's really easy to install and it's got a great community base. Simply fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Acording to DistroWatch Ubuntu is the most populare right now, followed by openSuSE, Fedora, Mepis and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoyBoy Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 SuSE 10.1 is fine for any newbie Knoppix is prolly the most well rounded live CD aroundin my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
