trying out linux... have questions

I'd recomend either of those two, I'm told that mandrake is easiest to use, although I find Fedora easiest to use.
I definitly wouldn't ercomend GUN/Debian to a new linux user.
 
hey everyone, I just installed Mandrake Linux. I chose to do this before reinstalling windows after a virus problem. It's pretty cool:) but, not as user friendly. I had trouble setting up an internet connection, so I have windows back on, at least until I learn a bit more.
 
a lot of people come to linux thinking they want to run all their old software like mirc, IE, msn messenger and photoshop.

after a while they come around to realising irssi, mozilla offspring, gaim etc and the gimp are just as good (and often better).
 
you can get the GIMP for windows, but i still prefere photoshop
 
Yeh, its annoying. I had a modem/router. Ethernet for my Xbox and usb for pc. Totaly mucked up, wont detect usb devices as well. tried drivers from sourceforge but i could'nt open the rmp somehow...hmm
