I'm giving Linux a chance.
But wich one  should I choose :
1. CorelLinux (tried it but I'm not convinced it is a good thing)
2. Mandrake
3. Red hat
4. debian
5. Any other

And could anyone tell  me why I should choose it.

My Computer:
Cyrix MII 300
96mb Edo
25 GB Hard disk
Aopen 36X cdrom
Adaptec 2940UW scsi2 card
Plextor px-r412c external writer
Banshee 16 mb
HP 820cxi printer
external modem 56K v.90
A4 Scanner on   Lpt1
Trust soundcard with Opti chipset
Win 98 is now installed and I would like it to co-exist with linux, that is
until I'm convinced Linux is much better.

Many thanx 4 helping me out.

I personally have experience with RedHat and I think that it is the best for
me.  What is best for you really depends on what you want to use it for.  If
you are simply trying to get a taste of what Linux is all about then I think
that either Corel or RedHat are the best options.  If you are thinking about
running a server, then I think that I would go with Caldera or Redhat.  They
are all pretty solid, but all in all, I believe that RH, Corel, and Caldera
are probabally the best bets.  Hope I was of some help.
