    Agreed. Fedora is a good product and very similar to RedHat Linux which is widely used in the corporate world.

    As for Linux OS, I've only used Ubuntu, Fedora, and Damn Small Linux.

    So since you want "besides Ubuntu," I would recommend you to try out Fedora: http://fedoraproject.org/

    For general uses, I don't see many major differences between Ubuntu and Fedora. But configuring wireless connection in Fedora is a lot easier than in Ubuntu, especially if you are new to Linux.

    Most of the available versions of Linux such as Fedora or RedHat include the KDE or GNOME for the desktop.

    I believe that the KDE version of Ubuntu packs the most Windows-similar environment. This version is called Kubuntu and can be downloaded using the link below.

    If you would like a kick start into learning how to use Kubuntu and the features that come with using it then feel free to visit the section on my website dedicated to Kubuntu, which is linked below.

    I use OpenSuse. It comes with almost everything you need. If it doesn't then all you need is to go to their website (www.opensuse.org) and search threw the packages and get what you need. I would say KDE runs similar to newer windows os's while gnome is closer to the older ones like Windows 98 and 2000 so take your pick.
