[dinesh_ddt]

Hi Guys,
After years of playing around with windows i thought its time to move on to learn more..
i'm a newbie to linux i want it to try and play with it..
suggest me a distro..
i currently have ubuntu and openSUSE with me..
which one can i put first ???
NOTE: i know only the following terms abt linux:KDE,GNOME,DISTROS.....

ubuntu

Open suse 11 i prefer ... but if u r newbie then go for UBUNTU

yeah.. Ubuntu is easier to use and when you double click a media file it will automatically download the required codecs.. OpenSUSE, on the other hand is advanced version.. once you get familier with Linux then you can shift to OpenSUSE.

+1 for Ubuntu...
When you get comfortable with Ubuntu...look at Fedora or OpenSUSE...

Even I'm a newbie in linux and like a hero i went for Fedora 10 and messed it up..

And read the FAQ thread in the open source section before asking questions

Ubuntu. Hands down

I would recommend you to go with Linux Mint

It is Ubuntu + all proprietary codecs, which will help you get with basic things in a breeze
