Just try Linuxes like Ubuntu or Mandrake or Suse. Those are the real easy ones.



You're basically only quoting what you've read somewhere. It's kinda true, but also a very stereotypical look on Linux.

I've installed about a dozen different Linux-distros and I've found a few that work for me. However, the trouble with me is that I need certain software and they're not made for Linux yet. I could use an emulator, but I really don't see the point. But I have a Linux on my laptop, just in case I have to use it for something.

You obviously know more about it than me. I've only briefly used an old version of Linux at college which I struggled to use. I have read up on Unix and Linux, etc, but apart from that my knowledge is limited. Would you use Linux instead of Windows, or is it just something you'd use occasionally?
