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!
