In my opinion all linux distros r gud 4 learning. But check out gentoo:

this thread goes on building.....
meanwhile have you learnt linux?
I think you would have learnt enough to answer some queries in other threads.
If you have got through basics read Sumithabha Das UNIX book and learn LINUX commands. That is definitely going to help you get through companies such as Yahoo!....thats true

hello guys !! another linux amateur here.

what I like about all the distros is the awesome man page that comes bundled - solves my most probs.

also I would like to know what or how different is ubuntu from fedora and gentoo ?? I mean is there any difference in the commands or something like that ??

Its basically how the packages are handled, the package manager etc. Also there maybe optimized builds of packages (like kde-mod for ArchLinux). Other than that all the distros come with the same Linux kernel, the standard set of utilities and the standard desktop environment. Distros like Gentoo, Arch give user the full control over system and hence it is the user who has to configure the system from almost zero level while distros like Fedora, Mint, Ubuntu configure most common things automatically when possible.

As Infra said. The main differences are

* Complexity involved installing it
* How packages are installed
* Resources used.

the shell remains the same in all the distros. All use the default shell as bash. So all the commands are same. I say the commands havent changed significantly from the UNIX time too but if you have a grip of UNIX commands you can handle linux very easily.
