Where to ask for the best Linux Distribution?

I know, when you would like to try Linux, you do not know where to ask to get the best distribution for you. Linux distribution (aka Distro) is a variety or options for your computer to run Linux. As an example, if you choose Windows, you can only have XP, Vista, 2000 or 98 (Although it’s not a good example). That’s about it. But, for Linux, you can have thousands of options (distro) to choose.

Are you a Linux User? Get yourself counted!

The Linux Counter is started as a “for fun” project to find out how many Linux users there are worldwide. The basic idea is for people to register themselves as being a Linux user.

Linux For You Magazine & Free Knoppix 5.0.1 Live DVD!

Last week, while I was window shopping in one of our local bookstore, I grabbed a magazine called “Linux For You” August Edition.

It cost me about RM17, but never mind, I can claim from my yearly tax benefit.
