Which Linux?

UltimaX · 2003-09-07T10:56:59

My sister just got me a job at the company she works for as a computer programmer and they use Linux. I have Windows XP but I want to install Linux to work with XP (On a seperate partition of course). Which version of Linux do you recommend? I have OpenLinux 2.2 and Red Hat 7.0 (But can download 9(ish?)) I am also thinking about redoing my game engine on Linux. Which compiler would you recommend? The only compiler on Linux I heard of is GNU C. P.S. Before anyone bombs me let me say this. I have done very little on Linux, BUT the company is going to train me from the ground up. They know I have little experience with Linux, and they think thats good They said they can 'customize' me the way they would want (Without any outside influences). The last guy they had thought he was a big shot and kept messing up their systems, thats why they want someone they can train. Anyway, if you guys can help me out on those 2 simple questions, I would greatly appreciate it. EDIT By the way, what do I need to be able to choose which system I want to boot? LILO? Thank you for your time, -UltimaX- "You wished for a white christmas... Now go shovel your wishes!" [edited by - UltimaX on September 4, 2003 11:22:42 AM]

Suse has a LiveCD for demo purposes, but sells their CDs installations now. You can download the entire FTP directory for free and make your own CDs, technically, or just download the FTP directory and then create your own FTP or HTTP or NFS share point and install from that with their boot floppies as well.
