in slackware it took about 7 mins .
anyway I dont think unix should be user friendly .
installing an X server will **** up with your linux ( I am speaking in general not for a desktop user )
btw I know what class is going to do with his linux , vulnerabilities and exploit dev for sure and slackware rulz in this area . easy linux doesnt mean the best linux , it means a good linux for a not-ever-used-linux user , advance user requiers advance distro , my taste is slackware and gentoo so I vote for them

gonna update my slackware BrB !!!

Well, i havent installed it at home to see whats all about, ive used it around 10 times tho, on friends servers, i didnt like it alot, maybe becouse im used to debians package system... dunno realy :wink:

mh sure but if you want to install gentoo you must print the handbook first because you don't have a gui like @fedora core and you have to compill it @fedora it's always compilled but @gentoo it takes round about 9 hours to install it

whax 3.0 is an easy to you live distro, based on slackware. i think its a good choice if you take whax to have a look at linux. you can install whax to hd too.
many sploits and pentest tools are included.

Fedora may be a bit too noobish so that's not the best distro to understand linux as u said.
Ubuntu is nice, and even i that got 0 experience must admit that it's not really difficult.
I've also tried slackware but i have to admit that i like ubuntu more ...
Best way is to try different distributions to see which one suits u best

Yog-Sotho goes WHAX too!

Nice to see there are other people around using that live distro. It's very good for pen-testing and it's stable enough to be loved.

Redhat is quite shitty and should be consider for beginners.

Suse sucks according to my tastes.

Debian is a good distro, it is just not often updated (just think the Sarge version was 3 years old when they released the new version.

slackware is definitively a good, well balanced distro... though not for beginners.

FreeBSD is still the best choice ever but....it's NOT Linux!!!

Make your choice class!
