OK, I'm finding all this Linux thing really difficult because I'm using it on my home computer and have to go to my mother's college to download things, and I'm a total newbie <no! I hate that word. I'm a Brit!> so I don't have a clue when it comes to recompiling the Kernel to put NTFS compatibility on, and installing X Window etc. Therefore, I am considering buying a distribution.
1) Would you recommend a distribution disk for a newbie? 2) Are there different ones to get? <what are the differences?> 3) I know this is a Debian list, but do you recommend Debian for user-friendliness? What are its advantages/disadv. ? I read an article about Red Hat being good, but it's expensive (£50 = $85) 4) Can I dual-boot Windows NT and Debian?
