Dirk,
first, go here for some inspiration : http://funda.ment.org/THELIGHT/
some ppl prefer redhat to start with. I would recomend this as well.
pretty easy to install. I even have my father using it now.
don't go with mandrake or suse. with redhat, just pop in the cd's and
click thru the install process.
if you are a bit daring, than try out debian or gentoo <gentoo.org> with both of those, you will probably be spending more time than you want configuring the machine.
best -august.

i think its a good winter to wake up the pinguin again and try to learn something usefull ....
ok heres my question to all the experts and freaks:
please help
, which linux you would prefer ? the goal is to run pd/gridflow (oh how wonderfull it could be) etc. and to learn about linux ? debian, mandrake, suse, red hat and i heard about a special multimedie linux, but forgot its name. tell me ...
, where can i find good instructions for a weak win user, who wants to experience all this compiling stuff etc ?
, is there a tutorial or something which can bring me to my goal, step by step ? (ok, surly not available, the install linux/pd tutorial for dummies)
in one sentence, i am looking for a guru who leads me through the dark path of personal operating systems..
thanx for reading
