Hello, I know my way around windows very well and I wanted to
experiment a little with another operating system. Mac computers are
too expensive just to test out a OS. That was my secound choice.
Linux is next, expecially with the LiveCD's. LiveCD's let you use the
operating system off a disk without downloading anything, but you cant
use it like a permanent OS because you cant save files or anything.
Its basicly used for testing different versions of Linux. Does anyone
know the best version of Linux to use? Debian? Fedora? SuSE?
Fedora is the most user friendly Linux distribution to use.
But, if you are a person willing to learn a lot out of a Linux OS, just go for Slackware, I think the latest version is Slackware 13.
Go for Slackware, You will learn a hell lot of things...!!
Cheers.

Linux is a good operating system, even better than windows, but people are not used to it, and they don't usually want to try something new, Linux is a bit hard about drivers and compatability but its way better in reliability and performance, only people who had the patience to try linux and try to understand things about it ended up using it instead of windows. you should try to have a look at some benchmarking between windows 7 and the new Ubuntu, it shows at least that linux can compete and can do better, benchmark test link<http://www.tuxradar.com/content/benchmarked-ubuntu-vs-vista-vs-windows-7><http://www.tuxradar.com/content/benchmarked-ubuntu-vs-vista-vs-windows-7>another good news for Linux... Google is releasing its own Linux operating system, its due some times after the middle of next year, we all have seen Google applications and all its improvements, and how they performed in Google chrome, now imagine a whole Google OS. Actually i can't wait my self to see how that is going to be, but till then we're just waiting :D
