Have you tried Xandros? For newbies coming to Linux, a Debian based distro is the best bet. Its easy to download, install and configure apps. And the better ones have renamed all the main KDE windows so it feels like you're working in Microsoft Windows. All you need to do is turn on the built in-firewall or download a third party GUI front-end to manage the command-line firewall settings.

PClinuxOS looked good to me, too. Until I installed v 0.92. My hardware is only a year old and nothing exotic, but it didn't detect my DSL unit, USB mouse, or sound card.

I may check again when it's more mature.

Since this thread is going to be a Linux thread, I have a question.

If I install a Linux, it will partition my hard drive right?

What if I don't like it, can the partition be undone, that is a simple way?

I've tried Knoppix, so-so.
Puppy, I simply can't get to load.
