A friend of mine (MCSE) and I have been debating the validity of using an alternative operating system (read Linux). If it were up to him, everthing would be made by Microsoft. I'm not here to start a Microsoft vs. Linux debate, so please don't feel obligated to bash either one.
I am going to be trying out a flavor of Linux and my question is if anyone has any feedback as to which flavor I should be looking at and what other extras I should look into getting with it.
Thanks for any feedback in advance.
