[GLLUG] Distro of Choice?

[Darrel Ray Clute, III]

I have used Mandrake, Red Hat, Suse, Debian, and have built systems from
source.  Personally I prefer the latter for the flexibility and ease of
updating, for me anyway.  For a complete newb I would have to say either
Mandrake or Suse.  Someone considered a newb on the Windows side even I
would say Linspire (formerly Lindows) just for the similarities to
Windows, the lack of security not withstanding.  Then there is the BSD
side of the Free *nix world.  There I have used Free/Open/NetBSD and
strongly favor Open for the extreme amount of detail to security.  For
the ease of use factor on the BSD side I would have to say Free for the
newb and Open for someone with a fairly good understanding of UNIX like
operating systems.
