I want to learn Linux. I have played with Knoppix 3.7 on a bootable CD I made. So now to get more into it should I install Knoppix or Fedora Core 3 on my XP2500 as a dual boot system.
From what I read Fedora Core 3 won't be able to read my existing video or Mp3s because I have all my existing drives formatted NTFS.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I just want something easy to learn that when I get a couple of extra hours each night I can just pop in a new hard drive and be running Linux or use a dual boot system and not change out hard drives. Being able to look at my network might be nice, I just don't know if it is possible.
With the Knoppix 3.7 on the CD I was playing with I could see my NTFS hard drives but I couldn't write to them. It said they were mounted but it didn't work.
