what is the current best version of linux, in the general opinion of the mod goers here?

i used to use red hat, but then i got lazy and went back to windows again, but im gonna get another machine up, and see if i can get it running reasonably... any suggestion as to the type and version i should go for?

Ugh, fine. I was trying to get you PO'd. For fun. When you asked what version, I was telling you to get "the Linux version". Ha ha. The response I had hoped for: "WHAT?!?! ARGHGHG!!!!!!!!! WHICH LINUX VERSION!??!?!?!/1kjlahiohafhgggggggg"

Now, to return to the subject, I have to say I've never used Linux except for once at school, where I played "X-Galaga" and "Connect Four", which were included with the Linux thing.

From everything I've heard, RedHat 8.0 is the way to go. Supposed to be the best recent version of Linux.

If you want a Windows interface but still on the Linux platform you should try Lycoris. Its a vere "n00by" version and looks pretty much like XP but you get the linux platform :)

The installation is the easier then XP...almost :)

www.lycoris.com

Slackware is good too. Get Fluxbox on that.
I used Lycoris more then windows for sometime but had no time for set it up good so i went to Windows again. I will go to Linux 100% when i got the time...You can play UT2003 on Linux :)

lol, im gonna try slackware, dl'd the iso last night...

and if need be, i can always run windows in a window (how poetic :devious:) so when it crashes, i can reboot it easier, and still run games through it
