distrowatch.com for reviews of the major distros

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'm kinda non-linux user but interested to use one.... it'll be great if someone write a simple intro. yes i know its available on certain sites eg, distrowatch.com but it'll great if we can share info too.. =) hehhe

a place to download linux distro

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.

as a newbie in UNIX-based system, am i advisible to use FreeBSD? or i'll just stick with newbie driven distro such as mandrake and SUSE? suggestion needed

actually i started off trying knoppix to see whether i like it or not... then i downloaded mandrake and still stuck in my hdd, haven't install yet. but i've tried suse 9.1 personal... not bad actually. simple to install too...

just to inform you guys that fedora core 3 already released
check the link in first post

Knoppix STD
PHLAK

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).

Linux Format Rating for "Gnome 2.8" *9/10*
"KDE 3.3" *8/10*

Thanks to Linux Format!

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

I am a die hard fan of Debian and Slackware. Ocassionly I still keep in touch with FreeBSD and Fedora Core. Any Debian fans out here.

yups, i'm a Debian fan too. although i don't contribute to it yet, i still evangelise it whenever possible

fbsd is easier for a lot of people who are used to DOS plus there's a really thick manual and it's free
