Your best bet is to make some time to experiment with a number of different distributions, but lean toward whatever your friends and colleagues use, as you will learn the ins/outs/tips/tricks faster with the social experience. You're likely to get help for pretty much any distro here on SLUG, but the majors have the greatest mindshare: Debian, Fedora, OpenSuSE, Ubuntu (and different 'enterprise' personas of the above, where appropriate). - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2008: Melbourne, Australia http://lca2008.linux.org.au/ Penguinillas Pack GNUzis -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
