> confused between: fedora, openSUSE and ubuntu LTSThere isn't a lot of difference from the learning standpoint,
but there are two main differences from an administration
standpoint: fedora and openSUSE and many others use
"rpm" packages and ubuntu and debian use "deb" packages
to install software.
There are various other administrative differences
such as networking being described differently on
fedora versus ubuntu, etc.

Ubuntu, I think is easier to get started from "scratch" with, but all
three distributions that you listed will serve you just fine in
learning the order of the penguin.
Oh I see, and in long term also, would it be good?
Good luck
Thanks.

Okay.
Thanks.
You ask good questions.

More than likely whichever flavor you try---you'll learn things. Several points:- Pick one and stick with it for a while. Also, to learn more---you'll find a wealthy abundance of resources online to read up on.- Assuming your main platform is Windows... consider something like "VirtualBox.org" in order to leverage virtualization (free even!) and build your unix/linux skills.- Evaluate unix/linux forums (such as "nixcraft.com") where you can read, and ask questions. There are many other good ones, too.
Okay.
Best of luck to you in your new adventure!!!
Thanks.

Others have already mentioned the packaging using either deb or rpm
files, but you should also try downloading the various demo CD spins.
This will give you a quick feel for the various GUI options available,
and some of the software available.
I try live CDs too then.
Meanwhile, welcome to Linux, and I'm sure the penguin community and I
wish you well in your adoption of Linux
Thanks.
