Linux Resources

The following links contain useful information about Linux.

Distributions

Gentoo Linux - One of the best Linux flavors out there. Not for beginners, though. Please note that installing this distribution requires much more knowledge about linux than other flavors. Gentoo usually takes 2-3 days to install the first time.

Slackware Linux - Another great flavor, best for intermediate Linux users. Make sure to check out Dropline GNOME if you're going to use Slackware.

Debian Linux - One of the most popular flavors for more experienced users. The installer's getting better and apt is almost as great as portage is for gentoo.

Fedora Core Linux - The free replacement to the popular but now unsupported Red Hat Linux. Great for beginners but still buggy.

Mandrake - Similar to RedHat in its ease to use.

Knoppix - The best LiveCD distribution available. Just drop in the CD and go.

Knoppix-STD - Knoppix for those of us a little more security conscious.

PHLAK - The Professional Hacker's Linux Assault Kit is another great LiveCD distribution for security minded individuals. Lately, it's been a bit better than Knoppix-STD in this area.
