Yet Another Linux Newb

[kareemwilliams]

What's up people? I am new to Linux, however I have successfully installed and used Linux before. I am in the process of building a box for training purposes because I work in a datacenter and most of our customers are using Linux more and more. My question is, which distro should I start with? I need a distro that is more for the enterprise market and I've been told Fedora is the way to go. I need to become a linux "guru" because my boss wants me to . I actually like Linux so that's not a bad thing and I've seen screenshots of some cool Linux desktops so I'm a little psyched and ready to get started on this project. Also, any recommended reading I should do? I need to know the ins and outs of the OS.

Hi and Welcome !

Fedora is a good chioce and Ubuntu, OpenSUSE and Mandriva are good too. Distro choice depends on like/dislikes and personal taste only. I would suggest you to try LiveCDs of as many distros as you can and decide yourself. You can install any package in any distro and none of Linux distro is better than any other Linux distro.
