You can't go wrong with Ubuntu - it's so big these days that it's incredibly easy to troubleshoot (one hour of Googling instead of three, for example). |

As opposed to Gentoo, which has a large ratio of everything. Ubuntu is still Linux, Patsy. You can go in and dick around with whatever you want, still, and if you ever decide you want to compile your OS yourself, then maybe start looking at Gentoo. But so much work has gone into making Ubuntu friendly to new users you'd be silly not to take advantage of the perfect introduction it offers. |
