I am a learner of Linux? But I don't know which type of linux should i setup? Is there any idea for me? Thanks.

Welcome to LQ!

This question has been asked a number of times. Please search.

You can also go to www.distrowatch.com for comparisons between distros.

Many distributions have Live CDs, which are working copies of the OS on CD that can be booted to, and that won't mess with whatever OS is on your hard drive. For instance, you can safely boot to the Ubuntu LiveCD on your Windows PC without killing your Windows OS.

My personal opinion:
- Ubuntu would be a good beginner level one. It asks relatively few questions during installation, and gets you running pretty fast.
- Then, jump into Fedora. More intermediate. Some different commands than what's in Ubuntu, so you'll learn.
- If you dare, check out Slackware. A bit more raw in its design, and forces you to learn much more.

Good luck!

Here are some personal recommendations

Kubuntu

Mandriva

PCLinuxOS 2007

This is the distro I use and recommend, Why because it works right out of the box. No need to configure Everything, everything just works. It also comes as a 1 CD install that is a live CD that you can install later if you wish.

Welcome to LQ....


I started learning Linux using Debian. The documentation is very good and installing packages via the "apt-get" tool is very easy...

..When you´re familiar with linux, give Slackware a try...you have to configure many things by your own and you´ll learn very much...
