I agree that a "install party" is the way to go. To start out though, I would
reccomend one that is easy to install. Go out and by a nice book with a distro
in it and learn from that. Once you feel comfortable and/or break it, install a
new one. The first one I used is RH, after a few months I broke something, so I
decided to try some different ones. Suse was yucky, Slackware was nice, I
almost stayed with it, but I had a yearning for Debian. I just felt that I had
to try it, and I never looked back. Now I haven't wiped my drives for 2 years!
Debian rules.
