What Linux to download?

Thanks for the help folks. Lost connection yesterday due to a storm here. (weak signal to begin with and it goes down virtually every time we get an electrical storm).

Will get back into it today.

If you're new to linux I suggest Ubuntu or Mint...both have similarities and both are relatively easy to use.

I prefer Mint myself...but that's just me.

I second that.

because imho, i'd suggest ubuntu or mint because they are easy to use.

I prefer Mint because it doesnt have Ubiquity user interface and comes prebundled with flash player and vlc player.

I like tails and liberte

for a noob with linux i think Ubuntu will do good job , but the new Unity interface suck , so maybe Kbuntu.


Keep in mind that Ubuntu/Kbuntu come from Debian distro and it very easy to get help.

Personaly i use Arch Linux but i will not recomand it for a new commer.

Try testing inside a VirtualBox , it free!

Right, looks like I've some searching,reading and tinkering to do, lol.

Once again, many thanks. I'll post any developments..

just get a Mac

linux like ubuntu/fedora are in a no man's land, where they aren't that good neither for servers nor desktop usage.

sure you can do but it's not going to be a pleasant experience. if you want stability of linux, go for mac, even diehard linux users use macs for desktop usage.

Pclinuxos is my favorite and I've tried many. Its the best. My second favorite is pinguy, a very useable form of ubuntu. Is well worth downloading both, and trying them out live.

But note, my pinguy is 64 bit, pclinux only has 32 bit, so I use 2 hardrives.

The pinguy sound went after a later update, the pclinux keeps going strong after its updates.

He's right ubuntu friendly but useless all linux Mac and I think BSD systems are being infected by gov sponsored hackers and trolls.
