Well, the title says it all. I need a Linux Distribution to use an everday OPERATING system, for everyday tasks. I need everything that a OS has like Windows XP (- security flaws , and I am QUITE experienced with Linux, so just post some ideas about some good stable, free, operating systems that I will be able to use and switch over from XP. Thanks in advance.Well you have linux......redhat/Suse or lindows or mac tigerThis site has a datbase of almost every linux disto have look and see which one will suite your needs.
SUSE, red Hat or mandrake are some of the best choices as they have a large user base and lots of support

http://www.linux.org/dist/index.htmlFedora is definitely the way to go. Easy install, RPM based distro, compatible w/ hardware, secure, and stable. Best I have used since I have been into linux! Most thoroughly developed; It is the free version of RedHat, for goodness sakes.
check here for more info on Fedora.

Here is a good article on Linux Distros: http://greauxpc.no-ip.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4&Itemid=2Choose distro, read reviews and so on at:
http://distrowatch.comWhat are your COMPUTER specs - manufacturer, amount of memory, processor, printer, etc. etc. The more information the better.

I would recommend Linspire, unless it is really exotic or sub-par hardware. XANDROS would be a somewhat close second, and many others if you fall in the strange components/low RAM category. Let me know. You can do this!!!
