Re: Which LINUX

["deja luser" <dejaluser@hotmail.com>]

Just try regular debian or maybe the Oreilly/VA/SGI pseudo-potato, if you 
have too many
problems try corel or stormix, both are quite easy, far easier than windows, 
I goofed with corel for larfs, and I think I clicked like 5 ok boxes and it 
installed tons of junk that more or less worked, stormix was similar. At 
least they're basically debian systems.

When linux is the first OS you've ever installed it can be quite confusing 
because there is so much you don't know, but I've learned more in a year of 
working on linux at home, than being an junior HP-UX admin (at HP) for a 
year.
