If you want to have a good time, install and use Sabayon, a Gentoo
derivative, but do not take it too seriously. I screwed it up trying to install
some programs. But, for fun, it is good enough with what it has.
Otherwise, I recommend Ubuntu or PcLinuxOS or Debian or Mepis or Dreamlinux
or Aptosid or Kanotix....

I am fascinated by Arch Linux, but it is too tough for me. First of all, in
my situation, I need an easy Internet connection.
