I guess this question must have been asked before, but I'm finally going to have to install some form of Linux distro on one of my PC's - and then learn how to use it!
The main reasons for trying to do this will be, at least initially, so that I can get to grips with dealing with a Linux-based Rx (which I aim to buy in the near future) and setting up a media centre on that (or another) PC.
First problem is obviously which distro because I've seen suggestions for quite a few of them but don't really know which one to choose so that I don't get so bogged down, pee'd off and disheartened that I give up in short order.
I know that many forum members run some form of Linux, and so I'm asking for your advice as to your suggestions on which to consider and which to avoid?
Thanks in advance.
