Subject: Choosing a Linux distribution

Author: Omid David Tabibi

Date: 05:07:43 03/05/05


I'm considering to install Linux on my machine (AMD64) to run alongside Windows
(fed up waiting for 64 bit Windows). I see that there are just too many Linux
distributions to choose from, and it's very hard to see the forest through the
trees. Redhat seems to be the most popular distribution, but I see that it is no
longer free. So, what would you recommend (64 bit support is a must of course)?
I considered Fedora, SUSE, Mandrake... but frankly I have no idea which one to
choose. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.

Thanks for the replies Omid David Tabibi 13:50:17 03/06/05
