|  Distribution Guide Hi everyone, i'm trrying to write a simple guide to distributions for beginners. What sort of things should I include in your opinion, it needs to be accessible to people who don't know a lot about linux. I was hoping to cover about 5 distro's so that the reader is not overwhelmed and want to cover as broad a spectrum as possible. The site is linked in my signature. Thanks, Matt |

| You should identify the following things in your guide: 1. The advantages of Linux over Windows. 2. A little history about the development of Linux over the years, ever since its creation. 3. Mention the main distributions: -Debian -Slackware -Red Hat/Fedora -Mandrake 4. Talk about the command line. |
