Can someone tell me the name of a Linux distribution that is really good? I'm probably just gonna stay away from MS, and just need a little kick start.
So can anyone tell me a good one? I'm looking for one that is security enhanced, and has really good hardware compatability (ie Drivers, etc). Not to mention a GUI... It would be really great if this happened... I would give you a 5 vote and probably a little something else... *bribe*
Thanks,

That depends.. Are you talking about downloading this??? That would be considered warez. If you are talking about wanting to buy this.. Then i cant help you. Ive actually been looking to buy it myself.
Linux OSs are always free. They have to be, or the law is sicked on them :P
Unless it's one of those "Buy this and get *so and so* features!" things...
SuSE is the best.
PM me if you want to know where to download it, or you can goto officemax and buy the boxed set
Thank you for the help :D
I will look into where to dowload it, and see what all it can do.
Thank you again!

Try mandrake, it has great hardwrae support and is easy to install and get running. Oh and it has a free ISO dl too unlike suse *grumble*
www.mandrakelinux.com/en/ftp.php3 [click the second "Now" to get to the dl page]
Easy, usefriendly:
www.mandrake.com
www.redhat.com
Harder, very secure, lots of reading:
www.debian.org
Hey Ace, have you tried mandrake 9.2 yet?
i haven't tried mandrake 9.2, but what i've heard from people, it's got some problems with driver instability (..or should i say incompatibility..)
it's weird, afaik, mandrake was always the easiest one to recognize hardware devices.
but again, this might not be the case for everybody. maybe people with older spec should try something like debian (which as ace mentions, very good for security and stability-->and that's the reason why they don't have the latest unstable build)
Still running 9.1, works great :).Quote:

i've always been a suse fan. it includes so much stuff that i don't have 2 use my sucky 56k modem 2 get software
Yep thats case, tried it but it had all those bugs in it so I downgraded to 9.1. Oh and the developers haven't included the kernel-source in 9.2 o_OQuote:
