What is the best Linux distro for me?
Not looking for one that apes Windows. Quite willing to learn to work in a new desktop environment (though you’ve lost me at “command line…”) In fact non-Windowsness is appealing. Basically, what I’d like to know is whether a GNOME or KDE distro would be better suited to my hardware (details below). I like to personalise things, and work with options, etc. I also like a bit of bling! So I was leaning towards KDE. But above all, I prize stability…
My laptop:
Toshiba Satellite A210
AMD Turion 64×2 TL-60, 2 GHz
2GB RAM
Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600, memory amount : 512 MB dedicated VRAM
Currently runs Vista Home Premium. Fed up with the slowness and clunkiness of Vista, as well as little glitches, like Windows Explorer shutting down every so often.
I’m not technical – never going to learn to work with code or anything like that. But I am intuitive, can figure things out, not a complete idiot!
I’ve downloaded Ubuntu to a Live CD, and have been giving that a go. Enjoying it – seems nice and clear. Will do the same with Kubuntu soon.
But my question is, regardless of which I prefer on an aesthetic or organizational level, which one would be more stable on my hardware?

Can’t Boot Into Linux?
Well this has happened with most of the Linux distributions that I’ve tried to install and run. What happens is that I install Linux okay, then it tells me to reboot. Fine. Theoretically (and from what I’ve heard), Linux is supposed to boot instead of Vista initially right after you first install Linux. Well, no such luck. I install Linux then when I reboot, I go right into Vista. I don’t even get a ‘What OS Would You Like To Boot Into’ or anything. Why is that? I’ve spent the past couple days trying to get Sabayon, 64 Studio, and recently, Kubuntu to run, but all in vain. I can boot into the Live CD, I can install the OS, but then I just can’t boot into it. The only Linux that ever worked for me was Mint and Ubuntu (which I personally didn’t care for), but I want to try other Linux distributions before I say ‘Mint is for me’, especially Sabayon, because I think Sabayon is better than Mint (in my opinion from what I’ve experienced on the Live CD). Mint doesn’t have a KDE version either (at least none that I’m currently aware of. If someone could point me to a link to a x64-bit KDE Mint, that’s be great. I’ve already tried googling it, so please don’t suggest that) and Kubuntu IS the KDE Ubuntu. The only two things that I can think that are a problem are;
1) Linux is being installed on a separate hard disk (but this shouldn’t be a problem seeing as Mint and Ubuntu worked perfectly) and
2) The Linux drive is being formatted in ext3 (which also should not be a problem I would think)
Can anyone help me? I’m really on my last string with Linux at this point, but I don’t want to give up already, however I’m just about ready to.
I would write a really long line of text, but it would just be mainly jargon. So to make a long story short; when I switch to Linux as the boot drive, I still can’t boot into it and it says something along the lines of ‘insert bootable media and restart’ or something like that.
Also, my main hard drive is on SATA and Linux is on IDE, so I can’t really physically switch them (as far as I know at least)

For you Linux gurus out there – where to get Redhat w/Fedora distro?
I have x386 machines and I wanted to know where to get either a CD (or create one) that is a live CD that will allow me to boot up from it and then let me partition my hard drive (I need to keep my Windows) install preferably redhat linux with fedora desktop. I think that’s KDE. I then can get dual boot. Canonical will give you the CD for free for its Ubuntu. I wanted to know if there is some site where I can get the redhat stuff in a similar fashion. Thanks.
