www.distrowatch.com - do some research. If there were one 'best' Linux
distribution there would not be 376 active distributions. You may want to
start with a Live CD - boots and runs from the CD with no install - great
for getting a taste and checking hardware - Knoppix and Elive are my
favourites.
