I am going to do a linux install as a VM within W7. What distro would you recommend for me? I have never used linux before.
I am aware of the different mainstream distro's but the reason for me using it is slightly different. I have no need to use Linux, I don't need to be able to run things from Linux, I am only doing it to learn about it and to have fun and learn how to use the terminal.
Therefore I have no need to get a stable version running quickly (unless the best way to learn this kind of thing is to run ubuntu or something) and would be happy just to plod along with it in my own time. Not a problem if it goes wrong and I have to start again.
Is it far too difficult to install Debian or something similar and slowly build up a GUI if you have never used Linux before?
Any help or advice would be great
