You are on wrong path then. Calling something cool or not is personal choice. I do not know what to call cool in the first place. I may call Ubuntu to be cool as well. And as for teaching commands, most of the distributions share same set of commands. Those that are distribution specific and desktop environment specific are different. And may be some other minor stuff may differ. I would be happy if you define cool. One of my female friend calls Snoop Dog cool. But I call him a idiotic criminal.

You are welcome but your question is still vague. You may want to comment more on that to let us know more.

That is okay but how does it help you to know how to call a distro cool? That does not teach you linux.

You can "learn inside out of linux" with any distro. Try a few, choose the one that suits you best, ignore other peoples' opinions and whether it's regarded as "cool" or not.

I think Larry's scale is based on Age... It's not a score, or I may have misunderstood.

Thank you all for your replies.
I think you totally are off the question or my question is ridiculous.
I think I will learn linux after I use it for long time like programming.

Want a cool distro to teach you in and out? Try this.
When and if you do it, please provide a link to iso image. Good luck!

Hehe, yes, I thought that you'll need some time...

But it doesn't matter if you do it after 2, 3, or 5 years, what does matter is that you do it right!

OK, hope to see that iso!

Take care!
