Hi! I'm new to this forum, so forgive me if I've posted this in the wrong section.
I have a Dell Inspiron laptop with Intel Core i3, Mobile Intel 6 chipset, 320 GB SATA, 3GB RAM. I want to know which distro of Linux would be right for me. I'd want that distro to be 1) easy to install, as I'm a total noob at coding, 2) balanced between work and fun elements, and 3) visually good-looking.
Thanks in advance!

Ubuntu is rather easy to install. I would recommend it.
My work schedule is as follows: Mon and Tues 1800 to 0600, Friday - Sunday 1800EST to 0600, and Wednesday to Thursday 1800est to 0600. So if I do not respond right away I am at work.

COOL! A quiz, I love it! lol
It told me the best distro for me was SuSe or Mepis.
I don't know.. maybe someday I will try Linux.

Try Puppy Linux. It will load into a RAM drive if you have atleast 256mb of RAM and not touch your hard drive or set it to store you setting in a folder in windows and still run from a RAM drive. Only a 42 meg download and a couple of minutes and you are on the internet surfing. Comes with several nice basic programs. Nothing to loose, alot of fun to be had.
AWESOME could not agree more

REMnux Linux distro and SANS Investigate Forensic Toolkit are the distros I'm using.

Wow! This thread is six years old and still going -- amazing.
FYI -- this geek made the transition from distro-hopper to Salix most recently.
It is a truly exceptional distro with its own support forum which is excellent, as well. Slackware-based, it is not for the inexperienced or unadventurous user not wishing to 'get his/her hands dirty' on occassion. But it is surprisingly easy for someone like me who got to know APT via Debian-based distros and knows how to edit /etc/apt/sources.list. In short, it is a rewarding and vey good way in which to continue learning on the journey that Linux represents.
Suggest anyone try the live version and then go with the XFCE install version first.

Waiting for the new lts distro to come out. I can't jump on it, for me it's more of a waddle over and fall on it, bad hips. Have a great day everyone.
