Linux?

Smaerd · 07-17-2008, 05:08 PM

How many of you use linux? How many of you would recomend linux? Does anyone know an easy way to explain how to get a solid version of linux? I am so over Vista and don't have money to shell out or the care to get an old version of windows, or an apple computer.

Ubuntu(GNOME Desktop) or Kubuntu(KDE desktop), Free shipping world wide free CD's takes 4-6 weeks to deliver, pain in the ass to wait, you could download it much faster.

Linux? If you think you can handle it. What are your demands, expectations, and generally, what do you plan to use your PC/Mac for? You need to consider these things.

I'm trying to be able to DL some music (eeps not really gov't), listen to music(make music), browse the web(not catch and web-std's), be as anonymous as possible, write/word processor, program things/web-design, use GIMP, talk online AIM/MSNM/Yahoo/whatever haha. Use my computer Microphone. That's about it.

PS I tried Ubuntu before and couldn't get it to burn to .iso disc for some reason, maybe I have a faulty burner.
