It depends on your needs.
Try Linux without installing:
-Knoppix
-Mandrake-Live
-Ubuntu-Live
-Vectorlinux live (light computers)
-Damn Small Linux (very light computers)
User-friendly distributions:
-Mandrake
-SuSe
-Ubuntu
-Kubuntu
-Linspire
-Xandros
-Fedora
-...
User-friendly distribution for old computers: VectorLinux.
Less User-friendly distributions (these work fine on old AND new computers):
-Debian Linux
-Slackware
-Gentoo
---
After you've installed a distribution, you probably want to install some new software.
Keep in mind that installing software in Linux is DIFFERENT from installing software in Windows.
The easiest way to install software in Linux is by using a 'package manager'. This is a program that lists thousands of software packages, and lets you install them in just a few seconds (not talking about Gentoo for a second
).
Examples:
-Ubuntu and Debian use 'apt-get' and the graphical version 'synaptic'
-Mandrake uses URPMI
-SuSe uses YaST
-Gentoo uses Portage
-...
Good luck using Linux!
