   Switching (on my spare machine) to !Linux this weekend, what's the best Linux distribution for beginners? Tips will be welcome?

     @technosexy I had good results introducing beginners to !Mandriva !Linux. YMMV.

     @technosexy !Ubuntu is very popular with beginners. The community is awesome, especially this week: ur1.ca/3ver

     @technosexy (You'll probably hear this one a lot) I recommend Ubuntu, especially for beginners.

     @technosexy /me suggests Kubuntu http://www.kubuntu.org

     @technosexy I second the !Ubuntu recommendation. It is a good initial setup, for new and advanced users alike.

     @technosexy What are you interested in? !Linux as a server? Linux on the desktop? Ubuntu/Kubuntu for the desktop, Debian for a server, IMO.

     At this time, @daverankin, I'm interested in !Linux as a desktop and will try !Ubuntu. Thanks

     @daverankin heresy i say! ubuntu is for the impatient. debian makes a great desktop os. of course i'll be loading 9.04 on my desktop...
