windows migrant: choosing linux distribution

[Joe Wulf]

You ask good questions.  More than likely whichever flavor you try---you'll learn things.  Several points:
-  Pick one and stick with it for a while.  Also, to learn more---you'll find a wealthy abundance of resources online to read up on.
-  Assuming your main platform is Windows... consider something like "VirtualBox.org" in order to leverage virtualization (free even!) and build your unix/linux skills.
-  Evaluate unix/linux forums (such as "nixcraft.com") where you can read, and ask questions.  There are many other good ones, too.

Best of luck to you in your new adventure!!!
