Which distro?\n\nIf you've got the time, you can download ISOs from most distro 's Web sites (even RedHat).\n\nI get my distros via bittorrent, personally.

You should increase your RAM, regardless of which distro you get.\n\nThat said, Redhat is the best supported distro out there, so if you are new to Linux, I would highly recommend it.\n\nTo make a Web server, any old Linux distro will do, but I use Mandrake for my *nix box and couldn't be happier with it.

Check out these sites --\nhttp://www.gentoo.org/\nhttp://forums.gentoo.org/\nhttp://www.linuxquestions.org/\nread as much information as you can find on these and then in Yahoo search, type Gentoo, click go and see if you can find other informative sites.\n\nLast, but definitely not least, be sure that Gentoo is the right distro for you. Go here -\nhttp://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/articles/Home_Use/Choosing_a_Linux_Distro\nand read the article on choosing a distro. There are links in the article to other sites that can offer help in your search.\n\n(If you need further help, the linux community of users has many avenues of assistance. Join the forums of several linux sites and read what they have available. Then formulate your questions and post them.)

Windows is fine. Linux is fun. Check out www.puppylinux.com. and be prepared to be amazed by what a tiny os running from RAM can do. If that doesn't peak your curiosity just stick to windows.

Plenty of sites on the net.  The official site is:\n\nhttp://www.kernel.org\n\nBut, just search for 'Linux Kernel' and 'Tutorial' on any major web site and you'll likely find some people willing to show you more about it.  I'd also check on Amazon (or other book stores) for books on the topic.

More user friendly?\n\nHave you tried Ubuntu?  You can run it from a live CD without installing it.\n\nIt's easy to use.  It's much easier to install than Windows also.  Took me about 20 minutes with the latest version.\n\nCheck out the "Dapper XGL" movie on the osvids.com page below to get an idea of how advanced the graphical Linux desktop has become.\n\nCheck it out:

Ubuntu is a great way to go.  It is free, and as noted above, they will even send you free CD's if you can't download it for some reason (if you are asking a question here, I assume you are already online).  For me, the best part of Ubuntu is the community.  There is a great community of people from around the world, that are very polite and happy to help answer any questions that you have: http://www.ubuntuforums.org\n\nEven though Ubuntu is currently on version 5.1 (Breezy Badger), http://ubuntuguide.org which was written for version 5.04 (Warty Warthog), is still a great guide that is very helpful as well.\n\nBest of all, you can get Ubuntu in Gnome, KDE, and more.  If you want, you can even choose which version to use when you log in (requires additional installation).\n\nThe Synaptic Package Manager makes it VERY easy to install additional programs.\n\nThere is a live CD is you would like to try that first: \nhttp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/5.10/\n\nGive it a try, I am sure that you will like it.  I installed Ubuntu as a dual-boot about 4 months ago, and I eventually removed Windows a month ago.  I am here to stay.

I suggest reading what others have to say about the best desktop versions of linux.  See here http://www.linuxboards.org/showthread.php?t=1542

Get to know sourceforge.net. It has everything free. \n\nOpen office costs 0$ and it's just as good as microsoft office\n\nGimp costs 0$ and it's just as good as $800 adbobe photoshop\n\nthere's just a myriad of benefits. Linux isn't just plug and play and aggressively install everything automatically. Linux systems are built to be configured by the users so they setup their own light weight systems.\n\n\n\nIf you want something more aggressive in installers and has like 5 dvds worth of software\ntry mandriva\nhttp://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=download+mandriva\n\nalso a simple one with easy installers is knoppix\nhttp://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=download+knoppix\n\n\nYou can do everything you do on windows.

Linux is a bit complicated. It is a big open source project, meaning the entire OS is made by thousands of volunteers contributing to it. As such, anyone can take the OS, change it or add to it, or make it geared to certian enviorments. All of these modified version of Linux can be called their own "flavors".\n\nHowever, there are some well know and widely used flavors. Some of the most famous and that have been around for awhile are: Red Hat, Suse, and Mandrake. There are a lot more such as Gentoo, Yellow dog...the list is endless.\n\nIf you are new to linux, I would reccomend getting some good begginer books. Mandrake is widely considered one of the easier ones to work with, and I like Suse too. But to really use Linux as your only OS, you will need to play around quite a bit, look up lots of questions on the internet and IRC chatrooms, and explore.\n\nA lot of work and configuring in Linux is done in a Terminal, where the way you interect with the computer is by typing text commands and getting back text as output. However, today's versions of linux have gone quite far in implementing a Graphical User Interface. You can use a GUI almost all the time.\n\nIf you just want to see linux, you can get a CD with Linux on it and boot up your computer from there. Play around, and when your done, take out the CD and go back to your normal computer. www.knoppix.org is one falvor of linux made for this purpose.\n \nGood luck and have fun!

NetBSD is a pretty good *nix distro\nor\nFedora Linux (aka Redhat) very simple to use with good security (SE Linux), stable and free.\nor\nRedhat Enterprise Linux but you have to pay for that.\n\nCheers!
