im not a fan of having dual boot machines or a machine with any distro of linux purely installed.. i cant live without windows; my preferred distro is dvd-bootable knoppix.. only time i use it is for troubleshooting, or on library computers so i can bypass the default book catalogging system

Fedora Core 5 i lived on fedora core 4 for about 1 month, until i had to install 3ds max to be able to work on my upcoming project. i like it better than all the others i've tried before... the only problem is how many disks it has, but to me that doesnt matter at all.

... 98% of all Linux distrobutions are free.

UNIX is the backbone of Linux by the way. 2 very different, but very similar operating systems. Linux was early 90's, UNIX was late 70's. UNIX is also text based, Linux has two main desktop enviroments. GNOME and K(DE).

Ubuntu. You can get free Ubuntu CDs and Live CDs from their site too.

It depends really

For a business desktop SuSE is really great
For the serverI like to use Debian

And if you really into linux you run Debian (Sid aka Unstable)

Well, I'm most used to Fedora 4, but I personally like Knoppix for just home use, no idea why.
