[QUOTE="Menace, post: 211293, member: 774"] I think most popular Linux flavors are Ubuntu, Debian, and RedHat. Have you ever worked with Linux or done any kind of sys admin stuff? I think the trend with modern Linux distro's is to make them more Windows like in the sense that you don't have to screw around with the internals too much and all of the hardware works. Not sure what your current level is, but why don't you just buy Linux for Dummies if you have no knowledge whatsoever and get Linux in a Nutshell (O'Reilly Media). The O'Reilly books are very well regarded as sources for all kinds of Linux/Unix related things, including programming. For the true experience, it's good to have a dedicated computer to install it on instead of a VM, but I think your idea of using a VM to start with is a good one. [/QUOTE]
