Giving an old Windows hand some Linux advice
,----[ Quote ]
| I see my colleague Preston Gralla is looking for the best Linux for a Windows
| pro. That's a good question with several good answers.
|
| Preston's son Gabe gave him some excellent advice when he recommended Wubi.
| This is the Windows' world easiest Linux installer. With it, you install
| Ubuntu 8.04 just like it was any other Windows application. Download it,
| click the install button and let it rip.
|
| [...]
|
| Good luck to you Preston, and to all the rest of you who want to give Linux a
| try on your Windows PCs.

Top 4 Alternatives to Ubuntu Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Considering the success of Ubuntu Linux as a distribution of the open source
| operating system, it has become clear that locating good alternatives to this
| release is becoming increasingly difficult. With that said, I've decided to
| round up the best candidates that might serve as a viable alternative so you
| might be able to partake in the Linux experience without having to relying
| exclusively on one distribution.

| I know there are lots of Linux distros out there but I chose Ubuntu because

Facing the full horror of Windows Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| So far, Transit has been using Vista Business full-time for a fortnight.
| And so far, we've found nothing that works better than in Windows XP,
| dozens of things that are annoyingly different without being a
| functional improvement, and several things that work at best
| intermittently and at worst not at all. On the whole, we wish
| we'd never moved.
