Gentlefolk,

I am planning on installing Linux on my 1 GHz PC as a second OS to
the Windows 2000 that is already there. I can devote 20 GB to the
Linux operation. Although I've been working continuously with one
computer or ten others for the past 40+ years, I am an absolute
novice in the Linux world (despite running a Unix-like command line
shell over DOS for many years).

The many flavors of Linux that are available is somewhat intimidating
and not a little confusing, and I'd appreciate it greatly if any of
you would recommend one or more flavors that would be good for me to
start with ... and, just as important, any that I should stay away
from. The RedHat that comes from KRÜD is appealing because of the
latest updates and patches with which it's bundled ... but what do I
know?

With many thanks in advance,
