 | You may want to go with SuSE. That could be a bit much for a first timer to install if you don't want to pay for it. So, Fedora and Mandrake are also other good choices in this situation.

| I'm pretty sure SuSE 9.2 is free too, as I have a copy sitting here in front of me. Generally Linux distros are free.

| SuSE is free, but you have to pay for a CD. Otherwise you have to do an FTP install, which isn't quite as simple as the "Insert CD X" install most are familiar with.
