Debian is a good distribution to grow up with.  It is the distribution for
people who do not like too much hand holding.  If you are an absolute
newcomer, I suggest RH 5.X which is more widely available in India.  But if
you have already tested the waters a bit I recommend Debian.

I am willing to order and have the CDs shipped to *one* address in Madras. 
Whoever wants a Debian 2.1 CD please stand up ( ie. send me a personal
email) and be heard.
