I am a Computer Science student looking into developing a stronger Linux background. I plan to buy a new harddrive and install a partition to it.

    Ubuntu is highly regarded as a starter edition. they even have a “live cd” you can burn so you can try before you make any changes to your system.

    Just download the .iso file, burn it to a cd, and then boot to it. No changes are made until you run the “Install” file on the desktop. Everything else seems to be fully functional.

    Nothing is better than Puppy Linux. Its small (about 80 megs) and downolads quickly.

    I can suggest u SuSe Linux, i tried to start some years ago with RedHat now known as Fedora, but i feel that SuSe Linux has more capabilities that are similar to Windows, as plug and play devices recognition (USB pens). Good luck!!!
