Newbie!!!



Hello everyone.  I have a couple of questions, well one mainly.  I've been on here lurking about for a good 5 months now learning little tidbits of Linux from reading posts here, and I want to get started into Linux first hand.  I have a small machine that I have setup to start using linux, but am a Dos/Windows person, and I have seen several UMSDOS Linux versions out there and have downloaded Pygmylinux to choose to start playing and understanding.  What I am wondering tho, is what version of these UMSDOS version is the best for learning with, I want to start using Xwindows, and I know of Gnome and KDE, but would like some guidance on understanding the X system a bit better.  The Machine I choose to start my experiences on is.
 
486sx -33 Processor
Cirrus Logic GD5422 - VGA Card
1 GIG Hard Drive
14.4 Modem
Internal 10baseT Network Card (Most likely 3 com, but have to open it up to check)
 
I work in the Computer field as a Computer Tech for Unisys, so I have plenty of computer background.  Any suggestions for the newbie, and I do know that the first Tuesday of each month is Klug Newbie night :) and I might be able to make one of those sometime in the future.
 
Thanks
