: Let me say one thing to you : there is no one that can really tell you wich distribution is best for you.
: I would suggest that you get one of the sets that have multiple versions of linux on it (Like the Infomagick 6 CD
: set ). Try installing one version if it  works for you then you stick with that version. 

: If you have not alot of unix experience I would suggest you try RedHat or Caldera. Because they have a tech support 
: department available and are more or less targetting the New user.

I understand that PCW (Personal Computer World, a .uk magazine) April 1997
will have RedHat4.1 on the front cover disk. I am not sure if it is
available in .de though.
