Hi, id like someone to give some advice on the following sience im kinda new to linux...
I want to install Linux on my computer but im not sure of what distribution i should install... I had Suse in mypc, but it was based on KDE and id like to use Gnome instead, and when i tried to install Gnome it had some peroblems, so i formated that partition of my HD.
Now i dunno wich distribution to install, i need one thats good for newbies like me to get started with linux, also i cant loose my windows partition because i use it for work...
Another thing, once ive installed linux, wich software is good for programing in php, i use dreamweaaver in windows and i dont know if theres something that inst too diferent in linux so i can start using linux for my work also..
Thanks in advance...

If you prefer Gnome, Fedora is a good choice. Fedora has obvious ties to RedHat, who is a big supporter of Gnome.

In terms of web development, I don't use WYSIWYGs - I prefer code-only editors. As such, I prefer Quanta on KDE. There is also Bluefish, but I've never used it. I don't know if there is anything in the linux world that is comparable to Dreamweaver on Windows or Mac.

Thanks man, it looks like you like KDE more than Gnome, is there any main diference in functionability to chose one or the other?

KDE is much easier for a newbie, it's closer to windows. For web development, Google for Nvu, it's supposed to be pretty good but I'm with him, I don't do web stuff anymore but Scite is my anything editor of choice!

If you want something really easy, burn a LiveCD of Knoppix. It's extremely easy, and it automatically detects all of your hardware. If you like it, you can run /usr/sbin/knx2hd to install knoppix to your hard drive. Its default environment is KDE.
