Ok, I'm a complete noob when it comes to Linux, so go easy on me!I have been interested in trying it for a while now (not just because of this recent M$ scare!) and don't really know where to start.
Need something easy to use, easy to setup, looks good and does the job. Also as much compatibility as possible!Will probably do a dual boot for the time being, keeping Windows for every day stuff/gaming and try to learn Linux when I can and use it for surfing too.
Someone mentioned MEPIS so I'm downloading that, and also downloading Mandrake to see what they are like. What do you think?

Fedora will require you to use the command line to do some things, but i am finding this to be a good learning experience and well the bits you do in the command line are simple anyway
