I am wanting to burn an ISO Images of linux on a cd so I don't have to really install it, I just don't know which distribution to choose. Which is the best for a beginner at linux?

[Shakie]

Mandrake Linux or SuSe Linux. Both are user friendly... well as far as Linux goes anyway.

Both have very easy installation and good documentation.

Where can I get these or are you not allowed to say so.

Here you go!

Mandrake http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en-us/

SuSe http://www.suse.com/us/index.html

Linux is open source, which means that it's usaully free.

The sites HoLoCroN gave are good and if you are interested in even more 'flavors' of Linux, you can go here: http://www.distowatch.org

Ok, SuSe costs money, and I don't know which mandrake download is right for me. I just want the ISO Image.

[HoLoCroN]

First of all, the .iso image is usually three or four CD's which means you will need three or four .iso images.

Give Red Hat a try, it might have what you are looking for

Redhat Linux 9 is pretty fine.

Which version of Mandrake do you guys find the best? I don't really know about installing v 10.0. If it's a version less than 10, can someone please give me a link to download it?
