 Linux Distribution
Mandrake
Mandrake Linux is a friendly and popular Linux operating system which specializes in ease-of-use for both servers and the home / office. MandrakeSoft strongly encourages anyone who enjoys using Mandrake Linux to join their MandrakeLinux Club to provide financial support for the distribution. There are more details on their website.

Fedora Project
The Fedora Project is the free descendant of Red Hat Linux. Comprised entirely of open source software, Fedora Core is a Linux-based operating system developed as a collaboration of Red Hat engineers and the Linux community.

Knoppix
The Knoppix Linux distribution runs entirely from a bootable CD. Data on the CD is uncompressed on the fly, allowing them to fit 2 GB worth of system and programs on one CD, including a complete X server, KDE, and large packages like OpenOffice and The Gimp. Since it runs solely off the CD, Knoppix makes an excellent portable Linux demo or system rescue disk, but its completeness makes it a good general purpose distribution as well.

Red Hat
Red Hat Linux is probably the best-known Linux distribution. It is well-supported by commercial software, and tends to be easy to install and have good hardware support out of the box. Red Hat 9 is the last version of Red Hat Linux per se, and Red Hat will stop supporting it soon. Instead they offer a commercial Linux distribution, "Red Hat Enterprise Edition", and a free distribution, "The Fedora Project".

Slackware
