Right now i have both Linux and Windows.
I want to switch to Linux completely.
Which Linux version will be best (Redhat, SuSE, or other)? I want to do all my work in Linux
including watching movies, writing DVD's, Internet, etc.
I do not mind spending few bugs (few means really few) for getting new Linux.

There are so many different Linux distributions precisely because nobody agrees on what is "best" - because not everybody has the same goals. Some people like the way Fedora Core and RedHat do things, other people prefer the Suse way of running a system - and then there's about 47 zillion things based on Knoppix, which is a boot-from-CD variant Then there's the Ubuntu crowd and *their* goals. Gentoo still has users because there are users who want what Gentoo offers, and so on.
I really can't suggest anything better than just going over to www.distrowatch.com and read the blurbs and see which one matches what *you* want to do.

I work in the industry (windows network admin) I prefer to use Linux when I can. For a straight out friendly desktop system I keep coming back to Mandriva. Failing that try Kubuntu.

You redhat or Ubuntu. Both are good distros.
You might have to download plugins to get all your required functionality

solidarity likely will run slow on your gadget. gnome 2x is fairly properly lifeless, and gnome 3 is likewise extremely graphical extreme. Xfce has an excellent form of similarities to gnome 2x, even with the undeniable fact that it remains maintained or maybe swifter. supply Xubuntu eleven.10 a shot.
