I find this works well for me:


1. http://google.com/
   search for linux

2. http://www.google.com/search?hl=enq=linux
   click on the first search result, i.e. The Linux Home Page at Linux Online

3. http://www.linux.org/
   click on Distributions

Pros and cons of various Linux distributions? How much time do you have?

HTH HAND

ok well generally distributiuons like Slackware and Debian are for more
experienced users, where as distributions like Mandrake, Red Hat, Caldera,
and Corel are for less experienced people because they have alot of scripts
to automate things like configuration of hardware, or setting up an internet
connection, etc. They usually have a very simple installation process too,
where as distributions like Peanut Linux are simple to use, but aren't so
simple to install because disk partitioning and making the filesystems needs
to be done manually by you.

Hope this gives you a bit of an idea.
