dunno why there is no more comments on this thread. i'd suggest u start with ubuntu, that would be simple enough for a newbie, also sign up with the ubuntu forums, it's a big community and they are always there to help, and when u get experienced enough jump for other distros

http://ubuntuforums.org/

both Ubuntu and Fedora are fine.
Ubuntu follows Debian Linux standards while Fedora follows Redhat.

The base linux commands are the same in all the distros. The major difference in these are the package management system and there are a few changes in the configuration.

Google will help a lot with linux as there are loads of tutes, howtos and manuals.

package management is an integral part and would finally decide which path u'll take when u'r experienced . .deb or rpm i'd root for deb based distros

the really experienced ones compiles from source.

Fedora is good. If u can use CentOS it is the best(Free version of redhat)

Fedora is the free version of RedHat.
Centos is third party a custom distro built on the free components of Redhat. However its always several versions behind in all the software it gives.
However its as stable as Debian and is good for servers.

yep.Thnx

CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor. Also CentOS developers use Red Hat's source code to create a final product very similar to Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Machang I'm a newbie to linux
so anybody feel free to correct me

my first question is
whether
you are an expert in linux checking an opinion
or
just a beginner looking for a place to start


I'm not sure which disto is best for learning linux
(learning maybe in different levels)

But for the absolute beginner I think ubuntu is best.
I've not seen any other distibutiions anyway
but for an absolute beginner ubuntu is the recommendation everywhere.
What about linux mint ?.

The thing I love about ubuntu is the live cd
one cd and so many things possible
I have installed my modem downloaded opera and vlc even on one occasion using the live cd. yes it all went away when I shut down but I found out that the stuff works with no risk whatsoever
I have a usb drive witth ubuntu using the same live cd
none of these are big things but one cd I mean one cd not even a dvd
For a beginner scared to install linux this is one big relief.

so you want an opinion of what distro ...or some help on where to begin?
