I'm interested in checking out the latest linux distros, but am curious which would be the best to fart around with for the linux inept. I'm not sure why, but as a complete geek I have somehow avoided linux like the plague. My son and wife are on macs(so I don't have to support them, more of a strategic move than a want) and my main rig is a phase change cooled conroe, home built of course, so I'm not non-nerdly, I just haven't delved into the finer things in life yet. Well I'm stuck at home after a recent accident and would like to tinker around on one of my other rigs. Any input you can give would be greatly appreciated.
What is the best linux distro for n00bs?
Well, I am not a Linux guru, but have played with it some. Many noobs like Knoppix because you can boot it from a CD on your otherwise Windows machine and play with all the Linux stuff without commiting to fully installing it, but you can install it if you wish.
The one that have been hearing about a lot lately is Ubuntu. Lots of good reviews. I would go that way first. You can also run it off a cd to play with it. There is also Kubunto which is Ubuntu except it has the KDE instead of Gnome. I prefer KDE myself.
I am running CentOS x86-64 as a file server in our office. Seems pretty solid.
