It is easy to install. If you are using Windows the simplest way to test your Linux Wubi installation. Wubi can install the Linux operating system with just one click. No need to download any software or computer experts.

To optimize the performance of firewall rules, the idea is to use an inverted pyramid.  It doesn’t matter how many firewall rules there are if most packets don’t traverse them.  The idea is to catch as many “bad” packets in the first few passes.   The default rule should be to drop packets, then allow the most exact match possible. In addition to configuration, the “good practices” also include the documentation of all changes, regular audits to remove legacy rules, and checking to ensure allowed packets are being passed as expected.

Linux is a based operating system for computers. Linux is accessible in several editions with altered codebases, all of which are ultimately based on Ubuntu except for LMDE which is based on Debian. Linux focuses on account and affluence of installation.

OpenSUSE or Ubuntu will be the best and easiest to install. They're also my favorite 2 distros.

So not true... Ubuntu is based on Debian, and there are only several projects based on Ubuntu.  All linux distros can trace their lineage back to a Unix flavour.

Ubuntu is one of the easiest to install and currently has one of the largest active forums on linux help.  It's all about trying to make linux as easy to use as possible, whether this makes it the best or not is more of a personal preference.

I don't do much work with Linux yet, but I generally use CentOS and Mint, sometimes Kubuntu/Xubuntu.  I personally find KDE easier to use as a front-end than gnome (Kubuntu is KDE, Ubuntu is Gnome.  They're the graphical interfaces for their respective versions of linux).

If you're just starting out, Mint or Ubuntu may be the best places to start.
