This is kind of a two-part question.
1. I have no experience with Linux whatsoever. However, I wish to learn so I can ween myself off of M$. These are the various distributions that I can get a hold of; Mandrake Linux 7.2, Redhat Linux 7 Standard Edition, and SuSE Linux 7.0 Personal Edition. I've heard that SuSE is the best distro for beginners but I would like to make sure.
2. I plan on installing this on my much older system downstairs and I was curious as to what the ideal system requirements are. Here is a rundown of the system, check the link in my sig for more detailed info:
-200Mhz IDT Winchip (yes, I know it's a POS chip but I got it for free)
-64MB 60ns EDO
-3.1GB WD hard drive
-16MB Diamond Monster Fusion
Is this sufficient for just messing around in the OS?
Thanks in advance.
