I am new to linux too and I have WinLinux 2000 that is very easy to setup and use, I also have PhatLinux which is basically the same (WinLinux is based on Slackware and PhatLinux is based on Red Hat) I also have Red Hat... The thing with WinLinux 2000 is that it can be installed and booted from Windows and installs on a FAT partition instead of a Unix-Linux partition so you will not have to partition your hard-drive and you can use windows explorer to look around and see where everything is... Winlinux also comes with KDE that is very close to Windows look and feel... you can also boot it from DOS... plus if you want to use any of your windows programs you can download WINE and have a better chance or success than from a Unix-Linux partition... You can download WinLinux from www.download.com (mabe it is http://download.cnet.com), by going this route you can play with it and see if it is for you without putting a partition on your disk... good luck!
