Check out Ubuntu. And look on the PC Mech front page for an Ubuntu guide.

Try the rest then get the best...get MEPIS. www.mepis.org go to downloads, pick a mirror,(ibiblio or ga-tec, etc), download SimplyMEPIS 3.4-3 and the md5sum page. Burn the saved ISO file to a cd or dvd as an ISO image & enjoy the best Linux on the net. Also visit www.mepislovers.org for help with anything you don't understand. Good Luck, 2GNUBY
