Yeah I use to Duel Boot all the time... But I grew out of that after a while......
What I want to try to do is hunt down a hard drive around here and test Ubuntu out first and install Wine and some other programs and try to get a few of my windows based applications that I use that does not exist in Linux to run.... It is only 1 or 2 programs... But I would like to install it first and test it all before I format my system.... Too much to lose and lost of my originally installation files...  Quote:

I'm sure you need to know Linux commands to do more advanced stuff, but I found amongst everything you need to do (the stuff you do with windows all the time) you can do in Ubuntu. It's very Windows user friendly.
I agree, Ubuntu is probably one of the best distros. I would not hesitate to recommend it to someone who whats to try Linux, but is afraid of the command line. I've got it as on my machine with Windows too, as a duel boot system. (Dual-booting is another issue all together!  )
I'm even thinking I'd like to put my kids on Ubuntu when I eventually get them new PCs.
One big downside - I can't run e-Sword on it. But I can run the Sword from Crosswire Bible. |
