Re: Learning abt OS
 

You can't learn abt linux , fedora , debian and so on. You have to learn Linux. You have to know that are few base linux family's : Debian and Redhat.
Debian derivates :
UBUNTU - Xubuntu - Ubuntu with the XFCE desktop environment
Ubuntu Studio - Designed for multimedia editing and creation
Mythbuntu - Designed for creating a home theatre PC with MythTV
Kubuntu - Ubuntu with the K Desktop environment
Edubuntu - Ubuntu for education
Lubuntu - Ubuntu that uses LXDE
*buntu - You name them

Redhat derivates :

Redhat - Fedora (Always under development :) )
CentOS
ClearOS
Oracle Linux
Scientific Linux
Yellow Dog Linux

Best distro:
Slackware .

Since i am a slackware fan i can tell you something about ubuntu distros with this :

"Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "Slackware is too difficult for me". :)
