there is fedora 10 , suse and mandrake 2008 xtreme 2 avaible, i want to know, which one of them is the latest??

So I’m guessing that VMWare Player is the best free software available to accomplish this but I can’t seem to install VMWare properly on my SUSe, pls help…plus should I be dowloading the .rpm or the .tar file from the VMWare website?

I’ve heard of GTK+, Cocoa API and others, but which API do you recommend to learn to program applications for Mac, and other Unix/Linux systems like Redhat and SuSE?

I’ve been using Windows for years. I hear very positive opinions about Linux and I would really like to try Linux at home. Which distribution of Linux do you think I should get? I saw some videos of Suse and loved it.
Also, will my Windows games and applications work on Linux?

How do I network a Suse installed machine with other computers, specifically Red hat Linux?
This is for a school project, and I can’t find any pages that tell how to network a Suse to other computers except how to use a printer.

I want to install SUSE onto my laptop, but here’s the thing: I don’t know how. I also want to update to the new version, but I don’t know if I can or if it’s free. Lastly, is Ubuntu better, because I might just go with that too (if Ubuntu I’d need directions on installing too.). Thanks!

Further explination- My windows PC is on the second floor and on a wireless connection. I have a second PC that has linux and windows on it and it doesent have a wireless card. I will eventually take of the windows on the second PC. To get internet on this PC with Suse I want to connect it by using my other PC if possible. So is there is some way to do this… well then help please. If you think you have a method that will work then I’m open to try that too.

I'm going to be installing Linux on my PC in the very near future as either a dual boot or a fresh install after I backup my important files. I have read a lot on both SUSE and Ubuntu Linux. Please help me by informing me which is best for Linux newbies. I have read volumes on both, but am having a difficult time deciding which would be the easiest for me to get into since this will be my first Linux OS.

which is best os among linux:-
1)fedora core 5
2)redhat
3)manrak
$)suse
