making the switch from XP to Linux

<< < (2/2)

MrX:
right now im trying to install gentoo linux. and the user guide handbook from the website is pure shit- what a mess it is. im stuck on step 6 and they totally lost me on step 7.  it really makes me appreciate the simplicity and ease of use of BeOS. and mandrake is bloatware and it's gonna go slower than your xp. so stay away from that.

Mr X

Calum:
well for a total newbie, i would agree that suse, mandrake or red hat linux would be the best choices. they are all deliberately easy to use systems from big linux companies, who make free for home use versions. red hat have recently stopped doing this, so now their product is in the public domain (more or less) and the unsupported updated version of red hat is called fedora. and it's probably very good too.
