    well the point is, what do you want?

    do you want a system as easy as windows? then stay with windows.

    do you want an quite easy system with the possibility of learning something about "linux"? then use (k)ubuntu/fedora (kubuntu issnt as good as ubuntu imo, but thats just my personal opinion as i dont like kde).

    do you want to use "linux"? then learn something about compiling software, build your own kernel (the kernel is the real linux tho, everything else is just GNU/3rd party software) and install the software you need (debian, dsl or especially gentoo is a good base system for building a "real" linux).

     

    imo linux is freedom, the freedom to build the perfect working environement for you out of millions pieces of software that are free.

    if you really consider seriously about using linux, do yourself 1 favour, dont ever install suse/opensuse! every good concept of linux is withdrawn by novel imo... suse is a bad clone of windows, nothing more imo (last version i tried was early 9.x version, maybe it changed today)

     

    linux is different, dont expect it to behave like windows, it wont! linux is not better than windows, its just for the advanced and interested computer user...

     

    for the point with the computers specs, dont worry about it, with some knowlege, every distro (as in principle every distro is the same, just the linux kernel+[different] 3rd party software) can be slimmed down to run on almost each pc (disabling eye candy, disabling services that are not really needed etc, similar to windows, but you will have alot more options)

     

    i would recommend you, to try a few live-cd's. so you can try out the different working environements/window managers (gnome, kde [most windows like], xfce, rox, afterstep, windowmaker, fluxbox[ :icon13: ] just to name a few) and find out what is the best for you. google is a big help, in finding lists of linux live-cd's.

     

    at the end, i want to tell you a sentence, that i tell all pll telling me they want to use linux: linux brings only an advantage, if you are really interested in linux and are willing to learn and use a couple new things. again, if you want your pc to "just work", stick with windows

     

    <sensless flame>oh yes, ubuntu issnt linux, as it doesnt use the official kernel :D </sensless flame>

    If you are currently pregnant, please know that this study presents no risk to you or your fetus.
    ...but can i have some explanation on this statement plz
    I was required to add that sentence ...

    Well I for one am very disappointed. I figured it was a dash of humor only to find out it's required lawyer-speak.

     

    Humor? Not without a court order! :omg:

    :P

    that was my first idea too tho ^^
