I think Mandriva or Knoppix are the most user friendly Linux distros.

If you just want to "test" linux, then use knoppix. Just have to put the cd-rom in your cdrom drive and reboot  In school we use Fedora Core. But I heard Ubuntu is better. |

But if you want a full distro with all applications and etc try Ubuntu. Also ubuntu have a live cd just for testing. |

all distros have good things and bad things ... For a very user friendly distro try mandriva ... I think is the best in that. Ubuntu is very easy to update/upgrade without to much effort. |

I don't like the package system for slackware. But, when I have time, I will give it a try.

I still haven't had time to try the Linux OS test thing posted above. I wish I could just freeze time for a few weeks, I could get caught up with all my work.  |
