There are two major Linux variations - Redhat and Debian. Distributions 
such as Fedora and Suse belong to the Redhat family and distributions 
such as Ubuntu and Gentoo belong ti the Debian family. I've chosen to use 
Debian proper, as opposed to, for example, Ubuntu, because I prefer to use 
console-based programs wherever possible and I think that Debian offers me 
more options in that respect. However, that's me. The beauty of Linux is 
that you have a lot of choices. I suggest that you visit

http://www.linux.org to start with to read about the basics.

Good luck!
