Hey everyone, how's things goin? It's goin ok for me, been better. A plus is that I just got a new laptop and I'm gonna get Linux on it. I'll download one of the distros out there ofcourse. I wanted to know what was a good distro for the Linux beginner, but also provides a stable work environment. I researched and I found three that really caught my eye. They were Slackware, Mandrake, and easyLinux.... but I really cant say what's good or better, or what's advantageous of the group.I have no idea. Any information aimed towards beginner based and or easy to use Linux distros please post! Also, I wanted to know if a dual boot is possible with this new pc. I've already installed things and I dont want to loose what I've saved on my laptop. I think what I really wanna know is would I be able to set up Linux with dual boot without having to repartition this hard drive.
