I vote for Slackware for a new user. Nobody has mentioned it yet. It
runs CS quite well, and is pretty easy for a new user to set up. Plus
they are forced to learn basic commands, which helps. (if nothing else,
startx and stopx are fast introductions :) This is rediculous talking

I agree with you. :)
I have learned my way thru linux and have set up Gentoo a number of times
now and I love it... BUT. (you knew it was coming)
It is NOT for total newbies lol. If you know your way around the filesystem,
can do a kernel reconfigure and compile, have ever used the chroot command

Sort of off topic, but not really as its relevant to the first

I'm not knocking Gentoo, it's the only Linux distro I'd ever use (as a
long time FreeBSD user). But I think most people completely new to
Linux (and UNIX in general) would find it difficult. The "quick
install" reference approach assumes you understand things like how

Depending on your approach to installing Gentoo, it can be
time-consuming or a matter of following a few steps. You could have a
Gentoo box running at the home/business with all the pre-compiled
packages (for i386 or i686) sitting on a FTP/RSYNC server and when you

Can't really agree with the above. Its fine if its a pc at home, but
simply the length of time it takes makes it unfeasible for many. For
me I like to attend site, install o.s, leave site. 30 mins is what I

I agree with you there - in Gentoo's case for example the installation

you need to update your steam client...
./steam -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir . ... is the
correct syntax...
just do a
./steam -update cstrike
and it will update the tool for you.

I must say I don't agree there, I started out with Gentoo as my first Linux

As long as you know what google.com is, you can use pretty much whatever

Good luck.
There is s much conflicting and wrong info out there.
It's been my finding that people make documentation, Valve changes things, and
people don't update the documentation. [or I'm just stupid :)]
for example
srcds.com says
./steam -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -

It is, however, not a good distro for new Linux users. Unless they want
to become seasoned Linux users very quickly.

I personally come from the angle if you need to ask which distro,
gentoo & debian probably aren't for you (although server side you can
scrape through debian ok really). Fed core is ok, but there's a lot
needed for a server and more updates which isn't necessarily ideal for
a server. Might be worth
