I want to install Linux. Is there a "best" distro?
I've tried twice to install Gentoo Linux as a dual-boot on my Windows system I'm using now. The first attempt on the same hard drive, the second attempt on a separate one, but both attempts failed and left me unable to boot into either OS. I was using the GRUB bootloader each time, because the Gentoo manual said I had to with an AMD system. Other people I know who installed Linux said that they just ran through the install process and I could try using lilo if I wanted, because it would work too, but I'm not sure.
Any suggestions?
