My question right now is.. which Distro should I get? I've dual booted linux before and all that jazz, but this time I'm going to install it on a completely separate HDD (before I partitioned my drive) and would like to keep it this time instead of deleting it. I also know that each distribution is pretty much unique in its own ways... but I still am looking for advice.
I'm not entirely sure WHAT exactly I'd like to use the linux for.. but I feel as a soon-to-be computer science major, I should get comfortable understanding commands in the terminal and such. I suppose I'd like to use the linux for anonymous browsing and whatnot.. so If there is a distribution that specializes in anonymity, please let me know! If not.. then I'd like maybe one that is good for production (video editing/music editing/photo editing).
Or if there are any other good "all-around" versions, I'd like to hear something about them. I tried ubuntu 9.4(or somethin like that) before and it was interesting.
