Linux: too many versions?

Thanks for posting such an informative review. I'm going to (hopefully) buy a new PC and use this old PC as a Linux machine.

I've dabbled with some "live" linux distros, but it appears to me (and I may be wrong) that "Linux" is actually not an alternative OS so much as a BUNCH of alternative OS'es under the "Linux" umbrella. There's Red Hat, SuSe, Ubuntu, Mandriva, etc. etc....

The impression I get is that all these Linux builds are incompatible with each other, and that programs have to be compiled for each particular distro. If true, that's too complicated!

I've finally decided that I'm going to need to buy a new PC; this one is just too old (even though it was top-of-the-line back in the day), so I'm going to install some version of Linux on this machine. I just don't know which version!
