I suggest you look at C/NET (http://linux.cnet.com). They have reviews of most of the distributions. There is also a lot of religion involved. Corel seems to be rated one of the best for newcomers converting from Windows. Mandrake is also targeted at newbies. Corel seems to be lacking many things that a developer would expect to be part of the distribution. Red Hat is the most popular. Some of the engineers I work with prefer SuSE. This mailing list is a good place to discuss the differences and opinions. ------- Forwarded message follows ------- From: Bill Bradley <dell02451 at yahoo.com> Jerry - Thanks! This is just what I was looking for. But, I'm sure it really reopens a can of worms (or opens it for us newcomers) - What are the strengths/weaknesses of the various Linux implementations? Anyone want to offer a site that might discuss this for us newbie's?
