I am new to alternate OS-need help choosing

Hey man -
Go for FreeBSD - it's fast, free, friendly, stable, has all the desktop options (KDE, Gnome), with great support and documentation.

Check out www.FreeBSD.org

Peace

I'm am new to alt os's as well and so I have found that suse linux and mandrake linux are geared more to the new linux user. if linux isn't your flavor then there are the macs and a few others.

Thanks for the help.  I think those links above will work great!  Only problem now is figuring out which Linux to use.  Any recomendations?

I checked out Mandrake but am still open for suggestions.

If you feel like paying a few bucks for good documentation I think SuSE works great.  That the only disto. I've used mind you though but I was on the net within 2 hrs post install!!!

I will be trying LYCORIS as soon as it arrives. I will give a laymans (non geek, non guru) report on its usability to a windows convert as soon as I play with it for a while.
