If you are new to Linux then try new Mandriva 2008 here is review for you http://www.techenclave.com/reviews-and-previews/mandriva-2008-1-spring-edition-breath-111577-5.html.

I personally Like 'Ubuntu Hardy Heron'

Fedora Core 6 Powerfull & Stable

(Use more then 6 months after use 17 linux distributions)

Vote for Fedora Core 6

^^Why in the world you are sugesting him an old distro ? Apart from that you can try Mandriva, Ubuntu or Sabayon

 

[-Anish-]

so i downloaded the dvd and whenever i am trying to install it, it is giving an error that harddrive not supported i think as far as my knowledge I have intel P43 chipset as it is new may be mandriva is not supporting it ....

Harddrive not supported ? Where did you get this error ! While loading or in portioning step ?
