I don’t know anything about Linux. Should be easy to use and should be an active and popular distribution that is still updated from time to time and has an active developer team.

i am a total noob to linux to so please bear with me. i had win xp installed on my comp and out of bordum i decided to install linux (UBUNTU 7.10) i did some research (but apparently not enought) and installed linux. but everytime i boot my comp i get a "GRUB Hard Disk Error" (no " ") with no error message. I’ve tried installing four times now and the same thing happens. How can this problem be resolved?

I’m trying to decide which distribution of linux to install. I want a version with which i can record music, edit pictures, etc… Or am i completely misunderstanding how the linux distributions work? Each one has different programs already installed and do different things… right?

I want a Linux distribution to install to my 8gb flash drive that is light on system resources. (I will be running it on older computers and speed is a must.)

I don’t want something like Puppy Linux because you are always running as root and I’m concerned with security. No DSL either. I have had graphics problems with that one on some of my computers.

All help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I am looking for Linux Distribution that is the best one for the avid Windows User that can be downloaded and installed directly on my computer. I do not know how to burn ISO files, plus I need something fast and easy.

I have Mac OS X and I like it OK, but I want to have a dual boot and transition to Linux. How would I buy a Linux distribution for Mac hardware. This seems to me to be a much more secure solution.
