Hey
Looking at trying Linux for the first time. Any advice, or what distro should i get :)

Any help would be great
thanks
 
Thanks for the replies :)
Downloaded the .iso of... Ubuntu earlier. Burnt it fine and booted the DVD. Showed the Ubuntu loading screen then my TV just went blank and showed a No Signal screen :(

Any idea whats gone wrong? And how to fix it :)

minus the monitor. I'm using my 22" acoustic solutions TV at the moment. HDMI -> HDMI
 
Managed to install Ubuntu. Works fine now, just one problem. The screen resolution is wrong. I go to System -> Preferences -> Display and under resolution there is only 640 x 480 (4:3) available.

Anything i can do to get some other resolutions?

thanks :)
 
Having more problems now with my PC. When i turn it on i just get the message GRUB loading, please wait...
Error 17

Can't get past this, so can't even boot windows. :(

Anything i can do to fix this?

Thanks
