Linux Opering System

As you know there are many Linux distributions. To choose one depends on what is your knowledge level and needs. I prefer Slackware 8, but it is probably the hardest OS to configure. If you are a beginner may be you should choose Red Hat or Debian. This distributions are easy to install and administer, but if you want to have a full view "inside the scene" then the Slackware is your choice.
I hope this helps.

For a newbie Mandrake 8 is a nice transition from windows.

I personally prefer RedHat but among my colleagues, Mandrake has a lot of support so I would feel comfortable recommending it for someone who is new to Linux.
