It's just a matter of taste. Now that tehre are so many live distros based on other popular non-live ones, you can freely try them and decide.

Have a good Linux experience ;-)
Regards.

Well let see....
For newbie

RedHat (or Fedora)
Suse
Mandrake

I am sure the are more out there, but these are the popular ones

Intermediate-Experienced

Gentoo
Slackware

Again, there are many distros outthere that you can use. Just to get an idea, visit .http://www.linux.org/dist/list.html (http://www.linux.org/dist/list.html)

for beginners, you should buy a copy of the suse linux distribution.
version 9.0 contains about 1000 pages paper of manuals and howtos.

come CDs and even DVDs are included + telefon and mail support.

it's the main linux distribution in germany, maybe europa sometimes...

i changed after 2 years of suse to FreeBSD, but that's not for newbs ;)

There isn't a best distro. Each distro has it owns qualities...
Imho if you're a newbie you should try mandrake. If you are a nerd, try gentoo, debian or slackware..

that's me i guess, slackware is such a neat toy

but yeah, i agree with master's picks, i used redhat at first, but suse can be as good i hear

Hi,

There is no best distro, just distro u prefer...

IMHO, Mandrake for desktop use, Debian for server use. Thats not the best, just the one i prefer. Just like my wife :)
