All you Linux users, which is the one that works for you?? I need one that can read all (or most) window files, with as much plug and play as possible.

Debian and RedHat are the two I hear most frequently.
Personally I prefer OpenBSD, which is unix, although pretty much everything that compiles for linux works fine on it.

Mr10%, check out a couple of the Linux magazines. they normally have at least one distro on them and often them have a "live" version, which runs directly from CD, so you dont have to install it to try it. Personally I occasionally use Suse, and have got Mandrake somewhere to try too.

I second Suse. A breeze to install and easy to use, providing you`ve got hardware which isn`t antique. Follow the link and look down the right hand side, you can download the files and:
"burn it on CD. SUSE LINUX 9.1 Personal will boot directly from the CD without modifying your hard disk, allowing you to test and use SUSE LINUX 9.1 Personal."
Worth a try if you have a fast enough connection to download the files.
