So what distro should I use?
Firstly, that is a difficult question to answer, because the
choice of a distro is partly down to personal preference.
However, to aid the selection process we are currently preparing a one
page guide for each major Linux distribution, to give a broad overview
of its target audience, what key software packages are included, and
identifying
really useful websites that have specific information about the distro
in question. Consider each of them as a starting point for your Linux
adventures.
If you have never tried Linux, we would strongly recommend that you try
one of the following Live CDs. The links below take you to our portal
pages
for these distros:
Alternatively, we strongly recommend that you view the portal pages for
