I would point out that, although Debian is someone steeper on the initial learning curve, you will have the benefit of knowing better what’s going into it. On mine, there was some initial pain, but now great happiness. Debian might still be worth it.

Hello. I got my first Linux install on my computer last winter (I think...it might have been fall) at the Install fest. Due to pressure from a friend, I got Debian. This was all fine and dandy until I realized that Debian has a horribly steep learning curve, which I didn't have time to conquer. And then I reformatted my computer this last fall, and no longer have access to my Linux partition at all (which I'm told can be easily solved by getting a Linux boot disk...I accidentally formatted the one I had). Anyways, what that all boils down to is that I'd like to get a new Install of Linux on my system as long as I'm going to bother searching out a Linux disk.
So, basically, I'd like to know what a good distro is for beginners (I've heard lots of good stuff about Mandrake, but don't actually know much about it), and if there's any way of getting an install disc for it without paying lots of money for the fanciest newest package direct from the company (poor college student syndrome).
Thanks! Kirsa Stay |
