PCLinuxOS

I like Linux best and that is the Linux I use. It's great.

PCLinuxOS, how does that compare with Ubuntu or Redhat?

I used some distro that was based on Ubuntu one time and didn't really care for it. I don't know about Redhat, never tried it.

Ubuntu is easier to install, comes with Firefox and other necessary utilities and is a free download from their website. Just don't do it dial up because it takes about 24 hours - it still takes an hour at 1.5 MB/S. It comes downloaded with an installer so it is much easier for an inexperienced user to install - unlike Redhat.

They just released Version 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon.

It is a good stable O/S and comes preloaded with Open Office which gives you all of the basic tools - Word Processing, Spreadsheet, Database, and Presentation Manager. It will read Microsoft word format documents.

The File Manager Utility makes things much easier to manage, and it has an update manager. There are lots of good add-ons which are available for FREE.

If it were not for the lack of availability of Java Runtime, Shockwave, and Flash, it would be hands down the best choice for the least $$$$$.
