There have been way too many of these threads lately, and somehow nobody wants to ask the question in one common thread; so here is one.

Distro Home Page
Debian
Fedora
Gentoo
Knoppix
Lycoris
Mandrake
Mandriva
SlackWare
SUSE
Trustix Secure
TurboLinux
Ubuntu

Download links
Redhat 1.0 to 9.0

Additional info
Threads like which linux to choose and related stuff will be merged into this pinned thread.

Cheers

I know some of you might be annoyed with this but I'd like to buy a book on Red Hat Linux... What's the latest Red Hat + Fedora version release?

Any book you guys can recommend for beginners? SAMs or etc?

I've been using Xandros Desktop Standard Edition for quite sometime.

http://www.xandros.com/

the cd is bundled with PC Authority MAG ... so it's free.

but you can also use it by downloading the Open Circulation by using Bittorrent at here (free) : http://www.xandros.com/products/home/deskt...c_download.html

if you are located inside malaysia and wants a fast download, go to www.asiaosc.org. I downloaded Mandrake 10 from there. Quite fast...Well..at least faster than the other mirrors.

Hello Linux Users out there!
Previously I've used SuSe 9.1 Pro, Kde3.2, later switched to the New
"Fedora Core 3" with Gnome 2.8 Desktop!
Here's my screenshot of my Linux Box (Fedora Core 3)(Gnome 2.8).
Attached Image
Linux Format Rating for "Gnome 2.8" *9/10* thumbup.gif
"KDE 3.3" *8/10*

Thanks to Linux Format!
For Linux Users or Newbies you can subscribe the Linux Format Magazine

It's only RM 45 ...something it's wort it! thumbup.gif
