I am interested in getting started with Linux. I am new to Linux but have plenty of experience with computers. I am interested in opinions on various Linux distributions and which would best suit me. Here is my criteria…
1-Cheap. I’m going to be putting this on a spare system just for experimenting, don’t really have a lot of time to devote currently, so I don’t want to put a lot of money into it.
2-Integration with Novell?!? I am a Novell Engineer and would like to connect to my Novell Network, so if some distributions have better Novell support, that would be a HUGE strength.
3-Compatibility. I have a home built system, AMD K6-2, Epox MB, Netgear NIC, I will probably need to check all my hardware components to ensure compatibility.
I will split the points between the two best thought answers (if there are two good ones)
