Well, I started up with RH 5.2.
If you want, and have some time to spend on your decision, you may like
buying "generic" disks from maybe Cheapbytes or LinuxMall. This are the same
downloadable versions that you find on the net, so you can install them and
work them out just as the originals (you are missing the paper copy of the
manuals, but you can find the documents in the CD to print them yourself).
You can buy some distros (you can get 5 for about $20), try them out, and
then, when you decide, you can buy the original boxed set of your
preference.
-Manuel.
