What distro should I get Linux from

musica.cards · July 20, 2007, 04:40:28 PM

I'm making a computer out of spare parts, but I need an OS, and my dad says that Linux is the way to go if I want to become a programmer, but I want to be able to do more then just program with my computer, and I've heard about lots of distros, but I don't know which one to pick, so Boyah, I ask you, what distro should I get Linux from and why?

I can still learn

Anyways, what's so good about Unbuntu? Better yet, Solaris, OS2, FreeBSD, what's so good about those?

If you've never used Linux before, I'd go with Ubuntu. It's a good "beginner" distro, and also has a ton of support.

I'm sure it is, but I want to try something new.

Go with Fedora. Installation is easy and it comes packaged with quite a bit of good software.

Is that another good beginner one (i.e. Will I be able to understand Fedora?)?

Yes. Just be sure to read a little online manual for installation instructions and warnings.
