Nobody mentioned this, But....
There is a way you can check Linux out without diving in head first. - It is called "WinLinux" and will install/run right from your windows partition. (removes easily, too)
I dove in head first on Redhat 5.2 and it was weeks before my facial tick went away - LOL
Check out winlinux and then decide on what flavor!
Get WinLinux Here.......

I too agree that this discussion should be moved to the *nix discussions forum. It is however, a good topic - just started in the wrong place. Keep the ideas flowing though folks.

I always like to read a good book.
Many publishers have put out very good
books on linux, often including a cdrom
with the full install, and even additional
commercial software.
It's lonely staring at that black
screen for the first time.
I came in to the world with nothing. I still have most of it.

warning: Once you run linux on you're box. I promise you that you're life will be never the same. I promise that. So, go ahead and do some cool programming.

Feel free to flame me if I'm wrong, but I have always felt that RedHat/Mandrake have one huge advantage over Debian/GNU, RPM. I mean DEB packages are alright but RPMs are just so widespread that all you really have to do to install software in redhat is a rpm -ivh filename command or use KDE or GNOME's package manager and gnoRPM respectively.

I'm curious just what it is you are saying is a huge advantage for red hat/mandrake - that rpm's are widespread? that you find it easier to rpm -ivh filename then you would to apt-get install filename? Please clear this up so i can tell you exactly why you're wrong ;-) (sorry - i love debian)
