what version of linux is best?

Depends on how geeky you are ;)

I use Gentoo on my desktop and Redhat 9 on my laptop.

Slackware without a doubt... Mandrake is good if you're totally green and want a bit of hand holding, but go Slack whenever you can. Debian's also a possibility if you want a bit of geek.

Version? The latest realeased!

If you don´t know what distribution to use, you should URL=http://www.linux.org/dist/index.html]read more[/URL].

Debian. Apt rocks.

i recon mandrake for starters, then red hat once you go real geekie, if anyone tells you lindows tell them to go themselvs

FreeBSD.

Haha..who knows. Different strokes for different folks.

For desktop I would go with Mandrake or RedHat 9, they both seem to have nice, user friendly desktops. If you're a command line wiz I'd go with Debian.

debian roX

Linux? Blah

FreeBSD is where its at.
