If your looking for ease, i recommend redhat - this was one of my first
distribs, helped me feel my way around in the darkness.
BUT.. I'm not sure if this can be installed very easily with a floppy
and net connection. - Anyone know?

I've heard openbsd or debian are nice to install over floppy. 

OK - Maybe gentoo isn't one of the easist distribs to install.. although
i found the docs v.v.easy to follow.

Good luck.

Tom
