I am interested in testing out Linux using my laptop (ASUS M5200 - 1.6GHZ 768MB ram).
I did a search on the internet on which is suitable for noobs like me and which has higher distribution (thinking will have better support) and free
I narrow down to Mandriva One 2009 KDE and PCLinuxOS.
As I said, I am very new to Linux and hope to be able to user friendly interface. Will be mainly used for surfing net, Open Office and GIMP etc.
I hope that advise can be given to me whether is the above mentioned two will be suitable for me and if not any other recommendations.
Thanx in advance
Edit: Seems that a lot of people are using UBUNTU and describing how easy it is to use. I may try this out first.
