There are a lot of good GNU/Linux distributions, depends what you want to do. if you want to your desktop, try Mandryba, Lycorix, Ubuntu (KUbuntu, Edubuntu), Gentoo... are the most frindly and easy to install.

I would consider one of the distros of Linux.  You can download off the net!

yahoo's www.geocities.com is the easiest interface that ive come upon.  you can start fresh, or you can have a preset wizard to guide you.

It really depends on your experience level and what you are using it for.\n\nIf you are new to the whole thing, try SimplyMEPIS.\n\nSuSE and Mandriva  is good for intermediates\n\nGentoo, Debian and Fedora are for experts

when you're munchin' through tonnes of data.  Write a script, let it go, make a coffee, read the paper.  Or if you do it with GUI: sit there clicking "OK" and "yes" all day.   Naw.  Blx to that.   Command line wins.

Try and use an IDE if you can. Or switch to linux for programming, you wont have to use getch() or pause :)

simple answer: download daemon tools. It's like a cd emulator so you wont need a cd.\n\nSearch Yahoo, it should be a free download.\n\nHope this helps...

Well, the very best place to start is the horse's mouth, so to speak.  Try the URL below for a good starting point.  Also, searching for the term "Linux +tutorial" without the quotes should get you some great sites.  And as a final tip, check out what the man -k command does in Linux.  It is a great way to search for help on something you've forgotten the command for.  Good luck!

Almost all unix commands work with parameters - are you looking for a program which would interactively let you specify the parameters for all commands? That's actually an interesting idea, but I think you would need to just take one of the unix shells (bash, sh, ksh), go through all of the commands manually and write an interactive version for each one. You would in effect be creating a new type of shell...

There are very easy distributions to install, vs very complex ones, there's a nice test to take here:\n\nhttp://eedok.voidofmind.com/linux/chooser.html\n\nThough most distributions include a guide to installing, distributions such as ubuntu, kubuntu and xubuntu are very good for the beginner.\n\nYou can find a huge range of distributions here :\nhttp://www.distrowatch.org

Most of the flavors of Unix rely heavily on text commands - although this is becoming less and less as time goes by.\n\nSeveral of the operating systems used in OEM products (phones, cars, etc) rely completely on text commands.

UNIX and Linux are very similar. Their similarities outnumber their differences by far.\n\nThat being said, in the commerical sector, Linux is slowly taking over UNIX sales (even in larger servers). This is because Linux costs much less then UNIX, and more development is happening in Linux than in UNIX. The only people using UNIX anymore are the companies that need UNIX for various reasons. In other words, if you have to ask "which one would you recommend" the answer is simple: Linux.\n\nNow the next question you need to ask is: "Which distro of Linux would you recommend?"\n\nI recommend either Fedora Core, or Ubuntu.
