    First of all, I want to tell all of you what a great mailing list this is.
    I am just starting to scratch the surface of network security, and this list
    is the major source of my information, ideas, and motivation to learn.

    In my first of many posts, I would like to ask the group what flavor of
    Linux is recommended for a newbie. I have no experience with Linux, and
    want to teach myself the ins and outs. I will probably be purchasing a book
    or 2 to help get things off the ground, so a good book recommendation would
    also be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance and I look forward to your suggestions.
