[NBLUG/talk] Suggestions for newbie Linux Person

[Walter Hansen]

I want to set up a dual boot for my wife. I'd like a distro that looks
nice in x-windows and is easy to update and such. I was thinking fedora as
it seems simple these days, but thought I should ask for sugestions. This
is for her "new" PIII-700 that's running W2000Pro (already installed). I
was going to partition the second 20G drive 50/50 and put the distro on
the first and then make the second a FAT32 that would be accessable from
both. I set up the first as a FAT32 as NTSF had issues under Linux last I
remember. She wants to poke arround with Linux and I wouln't mind playing
with a desktop more. I generally play with servers in a shell enviornment
or webmin so I'm a little lacking on x-windows knowledge.
