If you're new to linux, Ubuntu might be a good place to start (I'm using it right now). Has a good wiki, forum and IRC channel so plenty of help when you need it - provided you have internet access of course.

Site optimized for use with Mozilla Firefox. If you're still using Internet Explorer, you should seriously consider leaving the Internet. Sticking out tongue Laughing out loud Smiling Wink

I guess you mean GNU/Linux. Linux is a kernel, just one part of the whole OS called GNU.

Ubuntu is nice, but it isn't entirely free software yet. gNewSense is, though, and it's based on Ubuntu.
