recommendations for a linux distro

[traveller9000]

I've got parallels mac version 3214 and would like to try a linux distro, mainly for webbrowsing.

Can anyone recommend an easy to install distro that works without too much hassle? And no too big to download as I have a slow internet connection.
Thanks.

Linux recommendations anybody?

Please help traveller9000, as need the same too. Thanks!

(In my case I have a fast Internet connection)

You know, Traveller9000, if download speed is a big problem you can buy a Linux CD very cheaply with very fast delivery to anywhere in the World. I have used their service. I can give you the link, but I don't want to post their advertising here.

This Linux distro works

Now I have been recommended 7.04, which I have downloaded and installed. the only addition I had to make was adding Javascript. Even the Internet connection worked without any tweaking. This is the way to go for me and solves my problem at least temporarily, until I get more ambitious on the Linux side.

It's about 650MB, so it takes a while to download. You could also order it on a CD. I have sent you the company name by private message because I don't want to advertise in the Forum.

Good luck.
