I agree with the choice of Mandrake for a beginner. Once you have that |
| 2 |
under your belt, then you can start with gentoo. With gentoo you get a |
| 3 |
very basic linux system (non-gui) with internet capability. On top of that |
| 4 |
you can download and install packages from the gentoo portage system to add |
| 5 |
gui capability (X, kde, gnome, xfce, etc.), print support(cups), etc. This |
| 6 |
takes a lot of time and patience and help from other more experienced |
| 7 |
users. |

|

If you are not comfortable with doing a lot of searches on your own for |
| 10 |
howto instructions about individual packages, you won't like gentoo at all. |
| 11 |
If you are, you will find gentoo a wonderful learning experience. |
