Which distribution

Hi,

I know this is probably a bad question to ask since there are several distributions and each person has their own personal favorite, but here goes...

What distribution of Linux would you recommend for someone who is a beginner to the Linux / Unix scene who is wanting to learn things, experiment, etc. So basically something that's fairly easy to setup, but still is powerful and capable of doing things.

I have dial-up, so I'd either have to buy a CD or have my friend who has a cable-modem download and burn the distro for me. That's basically the reason I'm asking this question, otherwise I'd just download a few and try them all.

Thanks a lot!

By the way, if you could include a link to a site to download the distribution you'd recommend, I'd appreciate it.

CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE(3)				     curl_easy_setopt options				      CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE(3)

NAME

       CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE - maximum file size allowed to download

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE,
				 curl_off_t size);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a	curl_off_t  as	parameter.  This allows you to specify the maximum size (in bytes) of a file to download. If the file requested is
       found larger than this value, the transfer will not start and CURLE_FILESIZE_EXCEEDED will be returned.

       The file size is not always known prior to download, and for such files this option has no effect even if the file transfer ends  up  being
       larger than this given limit. This concerns both FTP and HTTP transfers.

DEFAULT

       None

PROTOCOLS

       FTP and HTTP

EXAMPLE

       TODO

AVAILABILITY

       Added in 7.11.0

RETURN VALUE

       Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
