Hey

For quite some time now, I've had an urge to make the switch over to linux. There is some interesting literature that is available both online and at bookstores that deals with linux. The problem is that most of the books and e-books are intended for certain flavors of Linux.

I have a Sony Vaio notebook that has a config like: PII 366mhz, 64mb RAM, 6.0gb hdd. Can someone recommend what flavor of linux I should put on this notebook? Also, does anyone recommend any books that would compliment certain distros (i'm a total newbie to linux so any beginners type of stuff would be great!)?

Thanks
DP

P.S. Is reading and practice the best way to learn linux? How did u guys learn how to use linux?
