--- Quote from: Lord C ---My first Distro was Mandrake - although its ok for newbies, I no longer recommend it.
Instead, I recommend Ubuntu :)
It's a distro that is great for home-users. Newbies/Advanced alike.

That greatest distro I have ever used.
Based upon Debian, it has the nice apt-get package management, with a nice GUI 'Synaptic'.

Does Ubuntu include KDE library's and the KDE apps that I love so much?

Ubuntu now has a special KDE version of itself called Kubuntu. Or, you can take the Gnome Ubuntu and do "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" and have all of that set up right there.

Hmm. I have a question.
For a person who has been using various Windows versions (ending with 98) and has now switched to Mandrake (though I might switch again (not back, elsewhere)) seeking a fairly easy to use system which will perform all the Windows tasks (WWW, mail, office suite etc. + occasional gaming, image editing, programming, graphics (not too advanced) perhaps), preferably better than the Redmond Virus and possibly more, which distro would be recommendable? I'm not asking just for my self, but I suppose the same thing I might be recommending my friends later. I am perfectly satisfied with Mandrake 9.2 w/ KDE, but who knows, there might be better out there, and I haven't had much experiece with it yet...
WMD:
If you're using 9.2, you can get better by upgrading to 10.1. ;) (No seriously, i've tried both)
Or Ubuntu.
Jenda:
Yes, the version thing seems logical...:)
But then about Ubuntu... Why is it better?
