    I'd suggest you try the standard edition first, provided that your machine meets or exceeds the system requirements.
    * 1 GHz x86 processor
    * 1GB of system memory (RAM)
    * 15GB of hard-drive space (although this can be split onto 2 drives, a 5Gb / and a 10Gb /home fairly easily)
    * Graphics card and monitor capable of 1024 by 768
    * Either a CD/DVD Drive or a USB port or both)
    I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

    The beauty of linux is that you can download and try live cd versions to determine which you like best. You could even install both and choose which to boot at start up.
