Here are some useful links for things related to Linux.

 

 

Major Linux Distributions:

- Gentoo - RedHat - Fedora (RedHat) - Mandrake - SuSE - Slackware - Debian - Lycris - YellowDog - Lindows -

 

There are an unestimated other distributions of Linux, about 100 or so of the better known distributions, and more information about those listed above can be found at DistroWatch.com.

 

Got a question, here are some places to look:

- Google For Linux (G4L)

- JustLinux

- LinuxQuestions

- The Linux Documentation Project

- Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition

 

 

Need a window manager for X? Check these out:

- Gnome - KDE - Enlightenment - FluxBox - BlackBox - XFce - Ximian Desktop -

 

 

Need some software or a driver? Check out SourceForge, the world's largest Open Source software development website, with the largest repository of Open Source code and applications available on the Internet. Google is another great place to look.

 

Those who use the RPM (RedHat Package Manager) system, may want to check out RPMFind.net for any packages you are in need of.

 

 

Many people are scared that by using Linux, you wont have an easy to use Office solution like Microsoft Office. For those people, check out StarOffice, OpenOffice.org (OOo), KOffice, or take a look at what Google has to show you.

 

Needing an email client? Use to using Outlook or Outlook Express? Check out Evolution. Or, if you are looking for something else check out these: KMail, Balsa, or search Google for more.

 

How about a web browser? Can't live without surfing the net can we, after all how would you get back to OverclockersClub.com to ask for help, eh? :P Take a look at Opera, Mozilla, Galeon, Konqueror, and of course Google can suggest others.

There is no "best linux". Linux is GNU/GPL and is not perfect in all aspects no matter how you look at the packaging or features. For now its a matter of opinion.
