also new to Linux and I brought the "linux for Dummies" book and it came with
FC3, Mandrake 10.1, Suse, Xandros, and Knoppix. Oh, and Linspire. I burned
all the images and I'm able to experiment with what ever version of linux I
want. It was a great buy at $30. Give it a try.

However it did not come with KDE. Any suggestions are how to get it and what
