DeadPenguin Member Registered: Nov 2004 Location: Delaware Distribution: Slackware Posts: 351 Rep:	I would stay away from FreeBSD for while as a noob. I really like it, but might be a little bit to much for a newb. Suse is a good no nonsense distro. I really like Yast. Peanut is a good minimal distro. Vector and DSL are good alternatives. Try all of them until you find one that clicks... again my .02 Blair
