I am definately a newbie to linux. just started seriously playing with it. i started out with slackware, and i wouldn't suggest starting with that one but once it was loaded i liked it quite a bit, considering didn't know how to do anything with it. now i have mandrake and it's ok, not sure its the distrubution for me. morphix and gentoo are next to be installed. morphix seems interesting becasue i can rn it right off the cd. if i can get the free knoppix cd i'll find a comp to run that on. :)
