What's a [Linux] newbie to do?
,----[ Quote ]
| Many more people are becoming interested in GNU/Linux, as even
| seasoned Microsoft users and advocates are beginning to question
| the issues surrounding the latest operating system from Redmond.
| The variety of GNU/Linux distributions, while a good thing, can
| make a difficult time for a user, especially a new user. There
| are many desktop and server distributions, such as Red Hat, SUSE,
| Debian and Fedora. There are also many derivatives, like CentOS,
| Ubuntu and Mepis, as well as specialized distributions like Knoppix,
| DSL and Knoppmyth.

| Specialized Linux distributions aren't for everyone. If they were,
| they wouldn't be specialized, would they? But they do demonstrate
| the power and flexibility inherent in Linux, and offer unique
| alternatives to one-size-fits-all operating systems.
