Which Flavour of Linux?!
Hi Everybody
I'm currently running a 64bit PC. I've installed (and come to depise) Windows XP 64 Bit. Fortunatley, its now completely fouled up beyond all recognition. When I try and start it, it tells me that a dll is missing (I can't remember exactly which, but thats because I don't care) Now I could fix this, but instead I've decided I want Linux back on my partition instead. My question is, which distro should I go for? Ultimately, I'm fairly new to Linux, having not used it extensively since university, so I want something thats easyish to use as a desktop OS, but will still let me use Linux as it was meant to be used (command based). Ease of installation isn't an issue, as I'm fairly competent in that (as you become when you can't remember root password ) I'll probably be using it mostly for software/web page development, office apps and surfing the internet. The CPU is an AMD Athlon 3000+ 64 bit, and I'd like something that will make the most of the 64 Bit architecture. I've used Redhat and Debian in the past, and want to try something else. Anything you can recommend?  ooping: |

Umm how about an x86 version of windows?
I mean linux is not exactly a great web content generator. It will code software well, but other than that, its kinda out. If you are hard pressed for linux go with Ubuntu. Its basically the easiest distro out there to use. Cheers Cameron
