Noob Needs Help!

akademik_genuiz · 10-07-2004, 04:26 AM

I am a noob at linux and need somthing simple, but I can pick up quick. I need a distrubition where I can run games like Unreal Tournement GOTY and Quake 3 Stable. I am also interested in a little video editing or having a media server.

Any suggestions

Just how simple are we talking about here?

I like to suggest Mandrake 10.0 for people that are serious about getting started in Linux. It's a solid disto and quite user friendly, suitable for newbies and experts alike.

10.1 is due out soon, but it's probably still a few weeks away (at least)

I agree with tuxfreak, go with Mandrake 10, i've been using Linux a while, i've tried a whack of 'em and Mandrake is my hero. The rest will send you down rabbit hole after rabbit hole trying to solve this error and that one, and you'll wind up swamped. So just get mandrake from here: http://www.linuxiso.org/distro.php?distro=29, burn the cd's and install. Not sure if you'll need any special driver's and such for the games, i use it for software development.... mostly.
