Re: [PLUG] Noob linux user wannabe who wants to know WHERE to be

Debian is nice but I have found it difficult to configure X. You
might try Knoppix. It is a debian distribution that runs live off a
CD. If you like it you can install it. The beauty of debian is the
apt-get command which allows automated update and installation of
packages from the command line.
Also, I have found redhat stuff like fedora fairly easy to install and
maintain. What are you looking for in a distro?
