5 Linux distros I normally recommend to newbies
If you have friends or colleagues who you would like to have try the Linux OS, an important decision would be the distro you choose. There are over 500 out there and whatever distro you choose will be a great factor in shaping your friends view of Linux. The following 5 Linux distros are my personal favorites when it comes with giving people a feel of what Linux is and is not.
Puppy Linux
I use this distro to flex those of my colleagues and friends who are knowledgeable in IT. I just boot into it via the USB, remove it and let them mess around with it as much as they can. Most of them end up requesting for a copy of the OS. The sheer fact that you can run the full OS with all the basic stuff intact from the RAM is itself a big plus. There are a dozen others like Puppy that do same, you can grab any of them.
Linux Mint
For the hommies who don't give a hoot about details, this is what I recommend.
