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


> distro's for newbies who really want to learn the OS

Precisely what do you mean by that?

learn from the ground up, take a long time to do it
gentoo
linux from scratch

it works with most hardware, you learn the hard way, it'll be stable for a
	long while
redhat enterprise knock-offs (wbel, tao, fermi, etc.)

keeps you on your toes, might not work always, you learn the VERY hard way
fedora core 3

helps you move slowly to linux from windows
xandros + crossover office


I have only researched the above; I am in no way suggesting that you don't
use any of the distros you already mentioned.  Only the last suggestion above
will cost you money.
