Best Newbie Linux Distro

,----[ Quote ]
| I've taken a look at Debian, Mandriva and 
| Fedora. (I might have tried Suse too, but the 
| LiveCD has never worked on my computer.) 
| After first trying a LiveCD, I installed all 
| three distros and gave them a good try-0ut.
| 
| The core Linux philosophy is Free, as in 
| Freedom, but I'm also interested in Free, as 
| in Beer, so I took a look at how each 
| distribution handled multimedia- Flash and 
| MP3's in particular.

Gentoo just makes sense!

| I am not giving up on the other distributions 
| and will continue to evaluate their progress 
| but Gentoo has earned its place on my system, 
| at least for now.

| It is important to note that building
| everything from source code can take a long
| time, especially if you do not have a very
| fast computer. For instance, building
| OpenOffice.org from source code (probably
| the largest program you will build) can take
| a day on some systems, although it can be
| compiled within a few hours on most modern
| processors. Fortunately, with Gentoo's
| Package Management System, just about
| everything will build cleanly the first time
| (including any and all dependecies).
