Need Info about Linux?

dale s

I have been thinking about getting Linux and kicking Microsoft to the curb. What I am worried about is..... #1. Which version? I have used Microsoft since Win 3.1 so I would want something set up similar. (but without all of Microsofts B.S.).....#2 what about drivers? I have all the normal stuff, Ipod, printer, cameras, scanner...will all this stuff work with Linux??? any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Dale

Answer
Do a dual boot with your current Windows

My favourite Linux is UBUNTU (or XUBUNTU if your computer has less than 256MB of RAM).

It's a free, reliable and up to date operating system.

You can explore it from the "LIVE CD".

It's easy to install and use. You can dual boot it with other operating systems.

Once you have it installed, you gain access to thousands of free programs created by the open source community. There is excellent support - see the WIKI starter guide, and the Linux forums.

Always back up your data before making changes to your computer.
