Best Linux distro for a beginner
I'm no idiot when it comes to computers but I don't want to have to learn a bunch of command line inputs either. I was thinking maybe one day I'll try my hand at some sort of linux. No particular reason why. Any distros you'd recommend?

Also, I was wondering, how do things like drivers for network cards work in Linux? Does it just work or do you need to get special drivers from somewhere?
