Looking for a good version of Linux

ubuntu is great

also, try to
run windows 7 as a regular user, not administrator, you should be safe from 90% of the junk out there...

Definitely Ubuntu!! Runs most ALL windows programs, even DirectX games.

Fedora 15 sucks with Gnome 3

Try Fedora 14

I tried Ubuntu a few years back. I got sick of having to copy and paste command line code that I could not understand to fix every little problem that crept up though. I also got little to no help from the community "support."

Needless to say, I went back to windows. All that said though, I know a lot of people like Ubuntu, SUSE, and Fedora. There were a lot of things I loved about it. I just ran out of patience for it.

Cool. Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely check it out.

Instead of setting up dual boot. I have gone to VirtualBox with Ubuntu Desktop installed as a Virtual Machine. Have had great success in this environment.

Go get 2.6.1 and wait till he gives thumbs up for 3.0

Stop paying the other company to use your computer.

ubuntu has great driver support, but lots of easy crackable backdoors
try slax.org it runs from 256mb usb drive on allmost every hardware, damned fast and pretty nice

Linux Mint is also a very good choice.

I also like this one, based on Ubuntu 10.10.

Pclinux is the one that works for me.. Ubuntu is popular but contrary to belief it isn't remotely like Windows. Been using Pclinux for years because it's easy to use. There really isn't much of a difference except for the fact it's by far more secure than any future versions of Windows.

ArchLinux
