"Also, by using the distro itself, you will learn a lot about Linux and how an operating system works. It is a fun and useful experience, believe me and never be scared of the command line :) It is your friend.

"Arch Linux
A distro I am currently playing with right now, Arch is focused on simplicity and elegance. A great Beginners Wiki Article guides you through the process of setting up your first Arch Linux system. There is a lot of manual editing in nano and other command line tools, but it is not very difficult and it is all explained in great detail and a very beginner-friendly manner. Arch’s pacman package manger system turned out to be a very lightweight and quality tool for managing the software installed on your system."
